Why is Mars melting?
Answer:
mars probably has a oil problem like we do. and the martians dont care about the environment
Yes, because of same reason.
The NASA scientists say it's for other reasons, most likely giant dust storms, long known to occur on Mars.

Most of the planets aren't warming, so it's not the Sun.
The polar icecaps are not actually melting, but vaporizing.
Martian icecaps are much different from Earth's polar icecaps in that they contain a layer of frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) or "dry ice" over a layer of frozen water (H20). Just like dry ice, this outer layer of Martian ice skips the liquid phase and turns straight to gas.
The ebb and flow of Mars' icecaps can be observed through telecopes. Most recently, Mars' south pole has shifted into its summer "months." As the surface temperatures rises, the CO2 evaporates leaving the H20 caps behind. When the seaon switches back to winter, the CO2 settles and returns to its solid state. Becuase of it's orbit aroudn the sun and the wobble of its axis, Mars shifts season differently than earth and can last for several Earth years.
Global warming has nothing to do with it and is something different.
