There's some serious trouble on Mars!

The spacecraft also observed a gradual evaporation of carbon dioxide ice in one of Mars’ polar caps, pointing to a slowly changing Mars climate.

“They way these polar pits are retreating is absolutely astounding,” Mustard said.

But like the rockfalls, researchers were unable to account for the gradual climate change.

“Why is Mars warmer today that it was in the past, we really have no way of knowing why,” Malin said.

Isn't it clear? Martians have been squandering fossil fuels and ruining their environment because of the Bush (but not Clinton!) administration's criminal inability to power our cars with alternative fuels such as compost and wind energy!

Hey, that's what's allegedly causing the same effects here, right?
