Apparently, a few wispy, high altitude clouds on Mars were enough to cause the deadly "greenhouse effect"
Meanwhile, on planet Earth we have millions of years of data showing clouds have no effect on weather or climate.
How anti-science can they get?
"But a new study led by University of Chicago planetary scientist Edwin Kite, an assistant professor of geophysical sciences and an expert on climates of other worlds, uses a computer model to put forth a promising explanation: Mars could have had a thin layer of icy, high-altitude clouds that caused a greenhouse effect."
Icy clouds could have kept early Mars warm enough for rivers and lakes
