Default Mars getting warmer : All our fault.

Global Warming on Mars results in quakes. The climate on Mars is showing a warming trend and recent images have shown the first evidence of seismic activity on Earth's neighbor planet, scientists said on Tuesday.


New gullies that did not exist three years ago have been pictured on a Mars sand dune -- just another of what scientists say are surprising discoveries found by cameras aboard the 8-year-old Mars Global Surveyor that are changing notions about the climate and formation of Mars.


"To see new gullies and other changes in Mars surface features on a time span of a few years presents us with a more active, dynamic planet than many suspected," said Michael Meyer, NASA's Mars Exploration Program chief scientist.


Images taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera on board the Surveyor showed that boulders have fallen down a Martian slope in the past two years.


Michael Malin, principal investigator for the Mars Orbiter Camera, told reporters it was the first evidence scientists had seen of some kind of seismic activity, or possible "marsquake," on the planet.


If so, "it could speak to the planet having warmth in the interior ... which means the interior could be more active than previously thought and there could be a habitable environment in the deeper regions of Mars," said Jack Mustard, geological sciences professor at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.


Malin said images of Mars' southern polar cap showed that scarps formed there are retreating at "a prodigious rate" of about 10 feet per Mars year. Mars years are nearly twice as long as Earth years.


The images, documenting changes from 1999 to 2005, suggest the climate on Mars is presently warmer, and perhaps getting warmer still, than it was several decades or centuries ago just as the Earth experienced its own Ice Ages. Malin said scientists had no explanation yet as to why Mars might be warming.


The Mars Global Surveyor reached orbit in September 1997 for an initial one-martian-year mission. It was subsequently extended and is currently funded through 2006 although Meyer said it was technically capable of extending its mission even further.


In November 2006 the Mars Global Surveyor will be joined by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which was launched in August on a four-year mission to continue the search for evidence of how long Mars had water, which is the key to sustaining life.
When will the madness end? We send little SUVs to explore the planet and make it warm up, so we send more! Also, co2 from earth is so high now, that some of it must be spaying out onto Mars!

If you don't believe that, then you are nuts!

Whats the betting that when the Mars lander gets there the green fascists will demand a payment for the CO2 emissions and Ken Livingstone will suggest a congestion charge and when it stops some "little hitler" (copyright Nick Lowe) will clamp it and ticket it

LOl G Hall, I digress, but what's the flag on your avatar?

Is it meant to Devon?

Everyone from Cornwall is laughing at you with your attempts to mimic their flag by the way!

No offence mate! :wink:

If Mars has been getting warmer in the past few years that would lend support to a solar effect acting on also on Earth

Ssh!

Be quiet or you'll be hung for blasphemy against our great Lord Tony.

Also; G Hall's flag is Devon, yes.

Indeed, you're not wrong. Surprisingly, they won a national competition for their green copy of the Cornish flag :?

It's a Devon George so close but no coconut. Iwas born there so I felt it appropriate and I am proud of my heritage

How many flags have a cross on them? Green and White are Devons colours

We like to keep the cornish amused its pretty easy, after all you have to pay to enter Devon over the Tamar.

Did you know that there are more dedications to celtic saints in Devon then Cornwall? and it was after all a Devonian who took Christianity to Ireland and Germany.

And you'd be speaking spanish if it wasn't for us Hasta la Vista baby
listen do I hear Drakes Drum

Great architecture and even secularists and humanists agree with Christs moral standpoints
