In Mars case the polar caps are melting at a faster rate than ours?

  1. The sun may be responsible for the other planets (or, on Mars, giant dust storms), but it's not the main cause of global warming on Earth.

    Actual data shows it's not the suns radiation that's the major cause of global warming on Earth, it's us. Solar radiation is carefully measured.  Climatologists include it in their analysis.

    The results are in the report below.  Increased solar radiation is 0.12 watts per meter squared.  Man's warming is 1.6 watts per meter squared, more than ten times as much.

    What scientists think.  Not from the "liberal" media.

    ""While evidence suggests fluctuations in solar activity can affect climate on Earth, and that it has done so in the past, the majority of climate scientists and astrophysicists agree that the sun is not to blame for the current and historically sudden uptick in global temperatures on Earth, which seems to be mostly a mess created by our own species."

  2. It isn't. But I suppose you already know that and are using Mars to prove that it is the Sun getting hotter that is causing global warming. But it is not so simple as that. We can measure exactly how hot the Sun is right here. Earth orbiting satellites can measure it very accurately, no need to go to Mars. Mars' shrinking ice caps have more to do with weather on Mars than anything else. Evidence is that Mars was much warmer billions of years ago when we know the Sun was much cooler then, so basically we don't understand weather on Mars as well as we do weather on Earth.

  3. i would think not.

  4. Our pollution isn't affecting Mars and Mars doesn't have any surface water so how can the ice caps be melting?
