The Red Planet Is Heating Up

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) -- Earth's dusty neighbor Mars is grappling with its own form of climate change as fluctuating solar radiation is kicking up dust and winds that may be melting the planet's southern polar ice cap.

By studying changes in light reflected from the surface of Mars -- a measure known as an object's albedo -- they predict the red planet has warmed by around 1 degree Fahrenheit from the 1970s to the 1990s, which may in part have caused the recent retreat of the southern polar ice cap.

Looks like planet earth is not the only planet forsaken with global warming... comments?

one degree farehnheit over 20 - 37 years...

pfft.

negligeble.

it wont melt the ice caps. isn't it like -120 degrees celsius at the ice caps?

O My God !!! There's no humans on Mars and it's still heating up.
I thought us humans and cattle were causing global warming? Well just goes to show ya what we don't know.
Or maybe there are humans living on Mars and that's why it's heating up.
