Global warming on Mars

The article states: "It is possible that the area of this ice cap may be shrinking due to Martian global warming". The cited reference (RealClimate.org) takes the view that the ice cap variations are not part of a global phenomenon. The statement in the article doesn't tally with its cited source.

out of context

It's out of context. My impression was global warming in Mars not earth, where the link points to. Or How is Earth's global warming affecting Mars??!! The link is misleading.--Jondel 10:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I realised that and can't think of an appropriate way to fix it, yet want to include a link anyway. I've addressed the two concerns above. MER-C 11:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The link is to a RealClimate.org article called Global warming on Mars?. The article takes the view that the Martian ice cap variations are not part of a Martian global effect. Sci1 11:12, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
