Some people think that our planet is suffering from a fever. Now scientists are telling us that Mars is experiencing its own planetary warming: Martian warming. It seems scientists have noticed recently that quite a few planets in our solar system seem to be heating up a bit, including Pluto.NASA says the Martian South Pole’s “ice cap” has been shrinking for three summers in a row. Maybe Mars got its fever from earth. If so, I guess Jupiter’s caught the same cold, because it’s warming up too, like Pluto.
This has led some people, not necessarily scientists, to wonder if Mars and Jupiter, non signatories to the Kyoto Treaty, are actually inhabited by alien SUV-driving industrialists who run their air-conditioning at 60 degrees and refuse to recycle.
Silly, I know, but I wonder what all those planets, dwarf planets and moons in our SOLAR system have in common. Hmmmm. SOLAR system. Hmmmm. Solar? I wonder. Nah, I guess we shouldnÂ’t even be talking about this. The science is absolutely decided. ThereÂ’s a consensus.
Ask Galileo.
Now such increases are inexplicable if one presumes that terrestrial global warming is caused by the actions of homo sapiens sapiens. On the other hand, if a natural, Solar System-wide phenomenon is at play here then there is more than sufficient reason to accept that the climactic changes on our planet are governed by the same effect at work on the other planets.
Now does this mean that we should not conserve energy, cut harmful emissions, and generally pollute less? Hardly – because each and every one of those goals is laudable in and of itself, absent any reference to the man-made global warming fraud perpetrated by advocates of Big Global Government Nanny-Staters like Al Gore. But the fact is that the adoption of such eco-friendly practices then becomes a matter of personal free choice rather than government diktat -- much to the chagrin of those who promote a convenient falsehood to stifle individual liberty while calling it an inconvenient truth.
