Mars is Undergoing Global Warming

A new study shows that Mars is experiencing a period of global warming. This article explains that the massive dust storms on Mars are heating up the planet quite a bit. The increase in temperature ironically, then increases the rate and serverity of the dust storms, so Mars is on an increasing self-perpetuating cycle. THe study showed that in 20 years Mars has warmed up almost as much as Earth has in the last hundred, and Mars has no fossil fuel emissions to blame. No one knows why the dust storms started, but it is clear that they are having an effect. The southern pole is steadily losing its ice, helping the dust storms to become more violent and releasing what little is left of Mars' carbon dioxide and water.
