Global warming?
Answer:
All I know is that when the Earth's polar caps melt we are going to be in TROUBLE...

how the hell would that be warming up the sun?!
Wrong wrong wrong. in Sun's life cycle sun very gradually loses heat intensity until at the end when it dies.. then it really gets big and hot.. we still have millions of years before sun dies
you must live on mars
Global warming on Mars was caused by NASA.
like mr president bush...said: the globe is getting warmer..
Oh yea, I live in NY, we just had the coldest April on record, so much for your "Global Warming", where's Al Gore Now ?
Nope. Just ask NASA.
Like Earth, Mars has seasons that cause its polar caps to wax and wane. "It's late spring at the south pole of Mars," says planetary scientist Dave Smith of the Goddard Space Flight Center. "The polar cap is receding because the springtime sun is shining on it."
"Remember, though," adds Smith, "there are two polar caps on Mars--north and south. While the south polar cap is vaporizing the north polar cap is growing. It's a balancing act.

Also, if global warming were due to the sun, then every planet would be warming inversely proportionately to its distance from the sun. There wouldn't just be a couple of planets warming.
Sorry, but global warming is not okay. At least not at the rate we're accelerating it.

global warming has nothing to do with the melting of mars polar ice caps. Global warming is caused by the liberation of gases, also known as cfc's, into the atmosphere because of the burning of fossil fuels and industrial wastes. The ozone layer has been damaged and now, the sun's rays can enter directly into our atmosphere and are trapped when they are about to leave our atmosphere causing an increase in global temperature.
Most of the planets are not warming, so it's not the Sun.
The NASA scientists who actually did the work on Mars say it's probably due to giant dust storms, long known to occur on Mars.

a star dose not simply become hotter it is a giant ball of burning gas. Mars could be changing its orbit to move closer to the sun however mars is irrelavent to us we actually have an atmosphere and it is being depleted we KNOW this for a fact this matter is not an oppinion it is a fact that this is happening.
Like Al Gore says; "The planet has a fever".
Even though the Sun might be warming up, that does not mean that humans could be making the Earth warm up even faster.
it's probably a 1:3 coincidence - warming up, cooling down, or staying the same; not a lot of choices.
The Mars warming is due to a weather cycle--resulting in an increase in dust storms that tend to retain heat.
And--contrary to the fake "science" promoted by conspiracy theorists and nutcases like Rush Limbaugh, the Sun is NOT warming up. Its gone through a short, normal cycle jsut as it does alll the time--and that wasn't enoug to make a difference on Earth in any case. Unlike the kooks, scientists actually check such ideas before they sound off--and that's what they found.
BTW--the "increase" in solar radiation the idiots were quacking about has already abated. LOL
The Sun gives off heat?... who'd of thought of that? Keep that to your self, it might wreck the Global Warming scam...
Science ignorance here is really incredible. The Sun's Temp. *IS NOT* constant. The correlation between Sun spot cycles and Global Temperature fluctuations matches far closer than that bogus graph that Gore put out. AND there are more Planets than Mars that show signs of warming. In any case Mars is warming without *ANY* help from Human kind. AND even IF Man has contributed some to the Global Warming that we now witness, our contribution to the total Green House Gas effect (less than 2%) is so small that to have any effect at reducing warming one would have to totally exterminate mankind.
the two concepts are not even remotely related
this question has been put so many times it is becoming boring
please check ,Bob,Trevors ,and many others, many answers that are among the thousands already given
Are you looking for confirmation of your assumptions
you will not find many
As far as Global warming being OK
the 150.000 people dying anually because of Global warming.will not agree with you if they could
neither would the 3500 people who died in Europe alone in 2003,have done
In FunQA.com: Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi
ask: “Congress is working on legislation to address global warming - what would you like to see included?”
Dear Madam Speaker,
I’d personally LOVE to see: Moneys allocated for placing geo-synchronous solar collectors in orbit to collect enough non-polluting energy to make fusel flues obsolete.
See “The High Frontier” by Dr. Gerard K O’Neal
http://www.amazon.com/high-frontier-huma... [No it not a fictional work. It is a workable proposal in place since the first fuel crises of the 1970s.]
The concepts and proposals are NOT new… And by placing enough of the collectors into orbit the US becomes an exporter of it’s Owen exes energy… And the Detroit MI area has a LOT of the infrastructure already in place west of town. [Detroit Metro airport as a recovery sight then west to the abandoned factories, for refurbish of each shuttle and out to the Irish Hills where a “mass-driver” electromagnetic lunch rile can be built. Also there is a technically sophisticated workforce in place, and seeking work in a collapsed economy.]
None of this will happen however as Gorge W. is an “oil-tycoon” that believes in the large profits he makes from the burning of fossil flues. And enacting the above outlined plan would make big oil obsolete.
What I would purpose, based on Dr. O’Neal’s work begins with:
• “Seed money” from the US government, the states of Michigan and… New Mexico? With additional moneys from any and all business interests looking to bye in. to the venture.
• A NEW shuttle design, from the ground up and purposely built, to place collectors into orbit, based ONLY loosely on the existing shuttle/747 configuration and launched from an electromagnetic mass-driver west of Detroit.
• Solar collector satellites with “tight-beam” microwave relay transmitters to “Punch through” the Earth’s atmosphere to a collector station, located out and away from major population-centers. [New Mexico comes to mind here.]
• The resulting electric energy is then converted to AC, and into the existing power grid
• US auto manufactures would simultaneously begin design of a new generation of ALL electric cars, With energy efficient flywheel braking
Furthermore a tax incentive can then be offered to the population for construction of energy efficient [Earth-Berm Earth-shelter, Passive solar. Wind generator… ] housing.
Don’t ask IF you aren’t ready to hear me rant.
With all due respects,
PennyAnn
