Nasa says it has found “compelling” evidence that liquid water flowed recently on the surface of Mars.
The finding adds further weight to the idea that Mars might harbour the right conditions for life.The appearance of gullies, revealed in orbital images from a Nasa probe, suggests that water could have flowed on the surface in the last few years.
But some scientists think these fresh gullies could also have been cut by liquid carbon dioxide (CO2).
The latest research emerged when Nasa’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft spotted gullies and trenches that scientists believed were geologically young and carved by fast-moving water coursing down cliffs and steep crater walls.
The commenter with the most elegant explanation for how this is Bush’s fault wins.
It’s clearly the work of Halliburton’s Martian Surface Exploitation Division.
And We All Know what THAT connection is.
It was global warming due to Bush rejecting the CAFE standards that melted the ice caps on mars. And he doesn’t care about black people.
It’s actually both Bush I and W’s faults. The father promised and the son reaffirmed “no net loss” of wetlands.
– You’re all wrong…its Keysean “trickle down”, gone interplanetary, fomented by McBusHitler, carrying on the oppression of the Martian culture, left over from Reaganomics. Next target: “Uranus”. The plan is to “seed” every planetary body in the solar system with gas belching SUV Rovers.
BECAUSE OF OPPRESSION OF THE COMMON WORKING ALIEN!
Wow! There’s dirt on Mars?!
I think it has something to do with his alien immigration policy.
I blame Michael Valantine Smith!
If he’d signed Kyoto, like Al Gore urged, that water would have stayed on this planet. But no, he didn’t, and now the Earth is angry at us and crying.
George Bush! You bastard!
CO2. Hummers. Exxon-Mobil.
One thing I’ve noticed:
Where ever there is water, Bush will soon be there. Along with Moss, but this ain’t exactly an anorexia/bulimia thread.
TW: nuclear36 (pronounced nukyuler)
Bush? Ha. Bush is just a figurehead, it’s his
Jewneocon Zionist puppetmasters who are really responsible.Bush is too stupid to have caused this. He looks like a chimp, too. But he is evil so he might have caused water to jump from out planet to Mars.
This is a hoax that Bush set up to distract from the release if the Iraq Survey Group report.
Always question the timing!
Free the Iraq Survey Group! Stop the torture!
Mars, being the god of war, periodically cries as he observes Bush’s sissified ROE in the GWOT.
The crying is sporadic because his vision is obscured due to elliptical planetary orbital alignments.
Plus, sometimes that pathetic little fucking moon gets in the way.
Pffft – everyone knows brainwaves guy, Rove, is a Martian…..
A drunken pair of club girls will pee anywhere.
Next thing you know the NYT is going to leak the invasion schedule , bastard traitors .
The signs of water were obviously left by Halliburton’s martian oil derricks and war machine manufacturing center’s waste water being dumped illegally.
“Get that earth creature and bring back the Uranium Pew-36 Explosive Space modulator.”
Silly Earth creatures…
This is easy:
A. Bush the Elder was in the Congress when Hawaii Five-O debuted on television. Hume Cronyn played a criminal named Filer on Five-O. Cronyn looks like Ray Walton who played the uncle in My Favorite Martian.
B. Bush the Elder was ALSO CIA Director when the Viking probes landed on Mars in 1976. What do you think they were REALLY looking for…life? Oil, man, oil.
C. Just after the neocon criminals seize the Iraqi oil fields, Bush the Younger announces a new space policy to go back to Mars.
Connect the dots people.
I’m kinda proud of this. I don’t often do conspiracy nut and it’s kinda fun.
Al’s got it! Gaia’s tears !
I’m still trying to figure out how “liquid CO2” did anything: Isn’t CO2 a liquid in a sublimation range of only about a tenth of a degree celsius? Lord, if Mars has a ground temperature that’s stable to within a tenth of a degree of ass-biting cold, no wonder all of our glowball worming scientists are freaked out by the Erf’s temperature going up by an entire half of a degree!
Well, Moonbat Tim over at Balloon Juice managed to use this as a jumping off point for declaring how moronic Bush is because NASA wants to establish a base on the Moon, instead of studying global warming.
Does that count ?
Well of course. It would just be another distraction from the War against the Cylons. Everybody knows there are no Cylons on the Moon. Indeed, the Moon is the one and only place in the Solar System where there are no Cylons. You could look it up.
Sherard,
That is indeed impressive.
Bush has Haliburton terraforming Mars so he can establish a new Jewish state on the planet.
Martians have filed protests and claim they will not be moved by the Zionist oppressors. Recent photographs show many Martians preparing to detonate themselves in crowded space ports and pizza parlors.
