Nevertheless, Mars has almost 70 times the mass of CO2 per square meter
than the Earth and Mars has a mean surface temperature of -46 C, with low
temperatures down to -87 C. We don't experience a lot of global warming
on Mars. Even Wormley has to admit now that CO2 is a trivial contributor
to global warming, and he invokes the real greenhouse gas, Water Vapor.

The real danger to Earth is that the same thing will happen to Earth as
has happened to Mars (and, by the way, to the Earth in the past) and that
the Earth will become a frozen water ball, so cold that the water vapor
that keeps the earth warm will precipitate out and you'll lose the
greenhouse effect.

Don't fall for the gossip and rumors, snowball
Earth is a theory only propounded because evidence
of ice was found closer to the equator at low elevation,
which can be accounted for if the area was high
mountain pass and it descended, like the area
around the Petrified forest.

None of the ice ages happened suddenly,
they all started downhill slowly, even in steps,
it is the warmup that happens suddenly.

Variations in clouds and snow cover along
with volcanos or super-volcanos might be capable
of bringing on a gradual ice age, but it isn't very
likely that the whole planet could freeze over,
the tropics are too warm.

While this is obviously a very long cold snap,
it is only the 4th worse locally, it will thaw here
by mid-week, I hope western Europe thaws soon,
they may not have the gas storage and pipelines
for a long freeze.

I don't understand the AGW nuts, cold and
snow would induce me to question a belief in
Global Warming just as easy as a few years
warmer than 1998 would cause me to re-look
at the possibility that something is causing
warming and maybe it is related to the
atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Marvin, are you trying to be stooopid? The trouble is that you
don't even have a clue as to why your reasoning makes no sense!

Is he wrong about the mass of the CO2 on Mars,

or not?

Marvin implies implicitly in his comments that CO2 is the only
green house gas operation on both planets, such that the can be
compared directly.
