...which isn't the point. Even assuming, as you say, that the Mars warming news doesn't contradict man-made global warming, why not at least be cautiously optimistic that it COULD be right? Why hit the Google search button so quickly to find a story that would refute it? And why, pray tell, aren't you hitting the Google search button to find an article that AGREES with it instead? And why is your response virtually identical EVERY SINGLE TIME an opposing viewpoint to man-made global warming appears on this forum? You should be HAPPY that someone has given you good news and, gee, at least ONCE, seek out other evidence that it is right!!! You're like a cancer patient who, upon hearing that he's got three months to live, actively seeks out confirmation that this is a correct diagnosis. > > <snip> > > I submit that this is an irrational response. > > Actually, it's irrational to be happy about news > that is irrelevant to the dire situation on this > planet (unless you have relatives on Mars who've > been uncomfortably chilly, I guess).
