dud Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8029 There are no fossil fuels burned on Mars, so how does global warming happen? The answer is kind of scary, because it could be something millions of times bigger and far hotter than your SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 There are no fossil fuels burned on Mars, so how does global warming happen? Perhaps the the solar system is imploding upon itself. Drawing closer to the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dud Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/07aug_southpole.htm More tabloid rubbish for you. Basically, melting ice caps on any planet with gases is nothing to freak out about. Unless these gases were sucked from the earth into outer space, they don't just disappear.

Matt Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 How about instead of guessing and bloody stop buying nukes and build something research it and go and freaking find out. 586559099[/snapback] you are a smart one arent you? theres more money poured into research than you would imagine, but then people with your mindset would also ask why spend money on space projects when you could be pouring more money into welfare and schools. on topic. shows you that warming and cooling are natural cycles, regardless the influence man has on its planet.

MasterSpy Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Perhaps Mars may develop an atmosphere in the far distant future. Since the sun is expanding, the Earth may become too war and Mars may become our new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodin Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 It is Bush's fault!! :p I knew that wouldn't take long. What it actually proves is that we're not causing global warming, the sun is. So fire up them SUV's baby :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So moving to Mars won't do us much good either. Just letting you know. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy@5$ Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I guess the only thing we have to worry about now is mass deforestation. But according to the study, the more we pollute, the more plants there are, so it might balance out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 If the caps on mars do melt more, the water will just evaporate anyway. Mars gravity is not high enough to support an atmosphere, it is said that a glass of water would evaporate so quick, that it will literally explode.
