Global Warming...on Mars????

According to award winning journalist Ron Bain and the website Space.com, Mars appears to be coming out of an Ice Age and is slowly warming. To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any humans there or any industries on Mars. To blame humans for Mars' apparently shrinking polar ice caps seems to be a difficult thing to do, though I am sure some attempt to minimize this fact will be made...

And that's the point. Planets change.... they are cyclic, even when there is no life at all on them. Glacial ice sheets form and then recede; continents drift; ice caps grow, fragment, then shrink; oceans grow and recede; atmospheric temperatures vary up and down, ranging from tropical to polar-like despite the latitudes. And all of these things have occurred on Earth. The all have happened long before man evolved as a species. They all have happened prior to the industrial age of man began. They are also happening elsewhere in the solar system too.

I wonder if it’s too late to let the folks in Copenhagen know.....
