The red planet is getting warmer. Science News magazine reported in its April 7, 2007, issue: "Modeling conditions on Mars using albedo, the percentage of light reflected from its surface, data from the Mars Global Surveyor, the team calculated an average air temperature at the planet's surface about 0.65 degrees Celsius higher than in comparable simulations" using data from the two Viking spacecraft landings on Mars in the 1970s.
