NASA scientists have found variations in the radiation reflected from the surface of Mars are contributing to climate change on that planet.

Lori Fenton of the Carl Sagan Center, located at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., said the radiation variations produce increased dust transport and wind circulation, possibly causing that planet to be warming by approximately 0.65 degrees Celsius each year. That, theorize the scientists, might have in part caused the recent retreat of Mars' southern polar ice cap.

Oh no! Might the same source be the reason for any global warming experienced by our own planet?
