The Global Warming - of Mars
Numerous reports make little doubt about mankind's role in global warming. Scientific models pop up one after another with more and more terrible scenarios. Scientists who do not agree jeopardize their careers, politicians who deviate from the CO2 hysteria are deemed short sighted, and the public meme seems to have found a substitute from the cold war atomic holocaust (which is just one chapter in a book, as long as mankind's history, about perverted doomsday entertainment.)
Unfortunately for those of us who prefer an objective understanding of the world rather than floating on the pleasurable meme, one indication makes it hard not to remain contrarian on this issue. Our neighbor planet Mars is getting warmer too. Remember Karl Popper and the idea that several justifications of an idea is of no use if as little as one observation falsifies it. However, I do not say that the heating of Mars actually does falsify the belief of a man made heated of Earth. The reason may simply be that Mars is getting hotter from wobbling of its path around the Sun. I am not in a position to speculate on this, but I do add a big question mark on why this is not more seriously discussed. As an observer of mass behavior, the evolution of the meme, and the virus like spread of deception, I find Global Warming to be an incredibly hot topic.
