I urge you all to go see this movie. I know that for the most part
the people on this list agree that global warming is a problem and
that you already know most of the stuff Gore talks about, but I
think the movie drives home the point that we can't really just sit
around and wait for others to take action.
What does the film say about Mars and Jupiter?
1. "Odyssey is giving us indications of recent global climate change
in Mars," said Jeffrey Plaut, project scientist for the mission at
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, from
<<http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mars_ice-age_031208.html >>;
"If both Mars and Earth are experiencing global warming, then perhaps
there is a larger phenomenon going on in the Solar System that is
causing their global climates to change," from <<
http://www.mos.org/cst-archive/article/80/9.html>>.
2. "From a meteorology point of view, these long-term changes can be
viewed as climate change on Jupiter," says Adam Showman (University
of Arizona) in an article about the new Red Spot on Jupiter in the
Aug. '06 issue of _Sky & Telescope_ in which the above quote
appears. A shortened version of the article appears at
