Fox News: Climate Change might be caused by Mars' wobble

??? you know these good family first channels are big on adultery and drugs!

All is good in Idiot Land.

How do they keep their FCC license? Isn't there a community service clause or something?

are not regulated by the FCC. Only broadcast (free) channels are.

Progress.

There is a silver lining in this turd - admission of a problem. The first step, so to speak.

Stupidest Things Ever Said list.

Thanks for the thread, Ichingcarpenter.

Too many people passing gas.

(do I really need to add a sarcasm tag?)

Because unlike the moon, Mars is made of red cheese, not green. And everyone knows what happens when you put red and green cheese on the same plate.

Or something. (facepalm)

Jupiter's gravity is the source of Earth's long-term orbital eccentricity, and its diameter is about 22X the size of Mars, so what dead animal's ASS did they pull this "factoid" out of?

It's been a recurrent 'fact' from man-made climate change deniers that Mars' polar caps are getting smaller (I don't even know how true that is); and they claim this means there must be solar variation causing both this and climate change on Earth. If you look at the rawstory article, you see that an Oxford University lecturer has suggested that Mars' greater axis wobble (not having a decent sized moon to stabilise it) might mean significant growth and melting of the caps. Which is believable in concept, whether or not it works out in practice.

So this mushhead has seen someone saying "perhaps the Mars polar caps are melting because of its wobble", and then thought this means someone thinks that is causing it on Earth too.
