Mars is Melting
The south polar ice cap of Mars is receding, revealing frosty mountains, rifts
and curious dark spots.

see captionAugust 7, 2003: It's not every day you get to watch a planetary ice
cap vanish,
but this month you can. All you need are clear skies, a backyard telescope, and
a sky map leading to Mars.
Actually, you won't need the sky map because Mars is so bright and easy to
find.
Just look south between midnight and dawn on any clear night this month. Mars
is that eye-catching red star,
outshining everything around it. It's getting brighter every night as Earth
and Mars converge for a close encounter on August 27th.

What the site actually says is, At this time, there is little empirical
evidence that
Mars is warming. Mars' climate is primarily driven by dust and albedo, not
solar
variations, and we know the sun is not heating up all the planets in our solar
system
because we can accurately measure the sun? output here on Earth.

NASA says the Martian South Polar 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. (Fred Thompson).
