Global Warming… on Mars

Now scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Centre in California have gone part of the way to explaining this change in the planet’s climate, by researching changes in dust and reflected heat from the sun.

The research shows that between the 70s and 90s, Mars warmed by point 0.65 degrees Celsius.

Here on earth the average temperature rose by point 0.75 during the 20th century.

And for the past decade the average temperature on Earth has declined, which just happens to coincide with reduced solar activity.

For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

The sun is in the pits of the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century.

Whatever happens, notes Hathaway, “the sun is behaving in an
interesting way and I believe we’re about to learn something new.”

Just a coincidence? The Chinese, Russians, et al, don’t think so, and it is now painfully obvious that many others don’t also.
