#1 At the same time that "Earth's Twin" was discovered = widely reported last week, a large object [IMO estimated size 10-15 miles wide] flew relatively close to Earth, fast enuff to be on fire but "slow" and "low" enuff to see rough rocky dimensions. Over the Guam-WESTPAC region. Reminds me of another "close one" reported by the RUSSIANS ala PRAVDA several yarns back BUT NEVER REPORTED ON US-WESTERN MEDIAS - LEFT A SNAKIN' SMOKE TRAIL THRU EARTH'S LOWER ATMOSPHERE, OVER GUAM'S UNIVERSITY OF GUAM COMPLEX-AREA.

#4 Joe, two of them in the span of several years over Guam? Coincidence or a cosmic conspiracy? :-)

#6 But the site hasn't found any near-earth objects since 2004. Funding cut off?

#7 I think it's Spirit and Opportunity's fault.

#8 So much for the "global warming" snakeoil hucksters on earth.

Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.

It's sad that this doesn't go without saying.

#10 I blame Al Gore for not visiting and cooling down the planet with his GoreEffect™.

#11 Not a bad idea. We can send him on the B-Ark.

#13 This is actually pretty good news. While Earth heating up maynot be good but all of the major ideas of teraforming Mars has started with melting a good portion of the ice caps to release the oxygen and heat up the planet.

Maybe we should pack up some rockets with algae and send them on thier way to help the process out.

#14 But, but, but, this can't be true!

There's no one on Mars to tax or buy my carbon credits!

#15 While Al Gorilioni is running his eco-religion global warming scam, other more thoughtful people are thinking about solar output cycles, both short term (11 years) and long term (order of 1500 years). In addition I have not seen too much work yet on how the earth's magnetosphere plays into climate change. The magnetosphere decreases, the charge distribution changes on earth. This affects thunderstorms (redistributor of charges), whose associated clouds affect so-called global warming. Also, a decreased magnetosphere will allow more high energy particles to strike Earth.

At any rate, monitoring things on Mars is a good thing, just to allow a bigger picture of the whole thing. If you wish, however, to still purchase indulgences in the form of carbon credits, I, as Rantburg's Resident Imam, will still accept them. It is very easy to do. Just go to the Paypal button on the Burg's main page and click and give to Fred. Nothing to it, and you will feel good after you do it.

Include AlGore and you can still note with surety that there's no intelligent life in Mars

#17 It's the damn mars rover I tell ya. Isn't that technically an SUV? Either that or those damn martians not caring about the environment again.
