| (From National Geographic) Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human- induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory. Hope Al didn't buy too many of those Carbon Offset Credits |

| #7 Computer model: garbage in, garbage out. Learned that 35 years ago in freshman engineering. Apparently the kids out celebrating Earth Day missed it. |

| #6 Cause of Warming a) Anthropomorphic Global Warming: Earth atmosphere: CO2 0.003% Human contribution 3% of above Therefore Human C02 in Earth Atmosphere: 0.00001% Or b) Solar Heating: 10 Million tonnes of Hydrogen per second undergoing nuclear fusion at 3 million+ degrees Obviously you'd choose option b if you wanted a grant. |

| #5 Damnit, AP! How can it possibly be the sun? Everyone knows the celestial sphere revolves around the earth! It is the glory of mother Gaia that wamrs the earth and the sun is merely a reflection of that glory. What are ya', some kinda' follower of that Galileo person or somethin'? |

| #4 Simultaneous warming on earth and mars suggests that someone should investigate a common feature of both planets. Hey, that be the sun!!! Maybe we should investigate the sun's output throughout the radiation spectrum? Too logical, I hang my head...... |

| #3 Martian global warming is obviously due to pollution and dust raised by evil US space probes. |

| #2 I am waiting for George W. Bush, Exxon, and the usual suspects to take the blame for global warming on Mars. Maybe it was our faulty intelligence that led to the deteriorating ice caps on Mars. |

| #1 ...according to one scientist's controversial theory It's controversial because it's based upon data and not manipulated computer models. It fails to meet the modern 'scientific dictum' that if the model doesn't match the data, throw the data out. |
