Re: [asa] Martian ice caps

Janice seems to have posted the following link as an argument that global
warming is taking place on Jupiter as well as earth (and therefore by
implication the whole earth GW thing is a hoax).

> Global Warming on Jupiter: Hubble Telescope

I just surfed there -- the article says nothing of the kind.

She also posted:

which does talk about "global warming" on that moon but makes no argument
that the earth's problem is in any way connected.

I found the following part of interest:

"Scientists have suspected in recent years that Mars might be undergoing
some sort of global warming. New data points to the possibility it is
emerging from an ice age.
NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter has been surveying the planet for nearly a
full Martian year now, and it has spotted seasonal changes like the
advance and retreat of polar ice. It's also gathering data of a possible
longer trend."
There is nothing at all in the article to indicate the effects are
connected to the earth problem.
