Global warming, oh yeah, and Martian warming, and Jupiterian (sp?) warming Options

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 shouldn't even be talking about this. The science is absolutely decided. There's a consensus.

Ask Galileo.

I looked up a few articles, says it was from a few months ago. I never heard anything of this. It would be pretty funny if it is true though. One article I got to had the scientist who wrote it saying that, according to the pattern they're seeing in the sun's irradiation, we should see a steep cooling in about 15-20 years. if that happens, LOL @ the hippies!

its proven that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation cause emissions of greenhouse gases. signs of global warming are obvious whatever the cause right?
temp has risen 1 degree just in the past 140 yrs (yes this is significant). the coming and rise of the industrial revolution? sounds fishy!
its predicted the earths temp will rise 2.5 - 10.4 degrees by the end of this century making it the HOTTEST since the dinosaurs. so the cycles are that spread apart?

lets just delve into other areas that humans havent had any part in...
in 1991 estimated 4k-50k species went extinct to our activites. rate of extinction is 1k to 10k higher than the natural rate of extinction which is only 2-10 species per year. if you want to know the formula for caluclating this ill be glad to walk you through it.

lets stop believing our activity doesnt have severe impacts on the environment. that belief is just stupid. for the people that say well yes i understand we are killing off animals like whoa this thread is about global warming! so you can understand the affect we have on natural life but you cant seem to grasp our effect on climate?

edit: you are getting this from Fred Thompsons blog? have you looked into the primary sources? that dude is a fucking nutso

who predicted this? i've never heard it before but i'm interested in reading about it.
