Oh, If Only There Was a Green Party to Save the Red Planet from Itself!

The (U.K.) Sunday Times reports:

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.

Money quote:

Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.

Known life or not, my money's on Martian conservatives and interplanetary corporations being behind it all.
