No Escape: There's global warming on Mars too

The overall darkening of Mars' surface in recent decades has significantly raised the Red Planet's temperature, a possible cause for the substantial, recent shrinkage of the planet's southern ice cap.

4. Antarctic temperatures disagree with climate model predictions
   02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new report on climate over the world's southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models. This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth's climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity. It follows a finding last summer by the same researchers showing no increase in Antarctic precipitation in 50 years.

7. Permanent ice fields are resisting global warming
   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The small ice caps of Mont Blanc and the Dôme du Goûter are not melting, or at least, not yet. This is what CNRS researchers1 have announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research. At very high altitudes -- above 4200 meters -- the accumulation of snow and ice has varied very little since the beginning of the 20th century. But if summer temperatures increase by a few degrees during the 21st century, the melt could become more marked, and could affect the "permanent" ice fields.

   09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Global warming may be to blame for the gradual extinction of cold-loving species, and the European land leech in particular, according to a study which will be published in the December issue of Springer’s journal Naturwissenschaften. The findings show that human-induced temperature increases over a 40-year period in the Graz region of Austria may have led to the near extinction of the local land leech Xerobdella lecomtei.

10. New study increases concerns about climate model reliability
    12-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A new study comparing the composite output of 22 leading global climate models with actual climate data finds that the models do an unsatisfactory job of mimicking climate change in key portions of the atmosphere. This research, published online Wednesday in the Royal Meteorological Society's International Journal of Climatology, raises new concerns about the reliability of models used to forecast global warming.
