Mars could be undergoing major global warming

10:05 07 December 01
Jeff Hecht, Boston

Mars is undergoing global warming that could profoundly change the planet's climate in a few thousand years, new data suggests.

High-resolution images taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor show that the permanent south polar "ice" cap shrank significantly between two successive Martian summers - a period roughly corresponding to two Earth years. If the trend continues at the same rate and the polar cap is entirely frozen carbon dioxide, "the whole cap would be evaporated in a few thousand years," Mike Caplinger of Malin Space Science Systems told New Scientist.

I see, you don't give a hoot about the Earth losing the Moon

Probably more in danger of falling on our heads!

Does the Moon loose energy as it orbits the Earth ?

So, the moon's kinetic energy is some 1.1e22 kilowatt-hours... global hydroelectric energy consumption is currently on the order of 2.6 trillion kwh/year, so that's 4.2 billion years worth, LOL!
