Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist SaysAccording to the
National Geographic, Earth is not the only planet experiencing global warming - so does Mars, where the SUV craze has so far been noticeably underreported. One Russian scientist, Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov at Saint Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, even claims - gasp - that Martians do not, in fact, drive Hummers and light their department store windows with halogen lamps, deducing from this that Earth global warming may not be due to man-made carbon dioxide emissions after all. Abdussamatov has of course drawn fire from other scientists. It's worth noticing he is no quack: Pulkovo is one of the world's best equipped observatories (and apparently has been since its founding in 1839.) More on this
