"Scientists from Nasa say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period."
Yep, it got warmer on Mars by about the same amount as Earth and at the same time. Appears to be a no-brainer that solar output has increased, right? Well, not according to Lori Fenton. She feels that variations in temperature on the red planet have cause winds to increase thereby throwing dark colored dust into the air that collects extra heat.
Hey, Lori! Do you think the winds on Mars might have picked-up simply because it got warmer in the first place?
No way? Now, let's see. What do Mars and Earth have in common?
I think I have it!
THE SUN!!
Here's another one,
"In what could be the simplest explanation for one component of global warming, a new study shows the Sun's radiation has increased by .05 percent per decade since the late 1970s."
SPACE.com -- Sun's Output Increasing in Possible Trend Fueling Global Warming (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/sun_output_030320.html - broken link)
That would be fine if global warming increased in the late 1970s.
