Full transparency: I am a sci-fi author.
If we delve into Newtonian physics, 95% of you will likely navigate away from this page…so let’s avoid that.
My argument is simple, Mars is both.
What?
Yeah, here is the kicker, scientists are well aware of this fact, yet they continue to feign ignorance. Is it possible that the motivation behind Climate Change initiatives is driven by the potential financial gain?
Similar to how the hydrocarbons in freon remain close to the ground, climate change is unlikely to result in our catastrophic demise.
If you want a glimpse of what the Earth will become in a few million years, just look at Mars.
Billions of years ago, Mars resembled the Earth in its current state. Huh?

The sun, in a relentless display of power, consumes a mind-boggling 4.3 million tons of fuel per second. For those who don’t see the big picture, the sun, that glowing orb in the sky, consumes a staggering 371.52 billion tons of fuel every 24 hours.
Over billions of years, the sun has been steadily losing mass, either through fission or the cosmic wind.
Our little blue dot, like all the celestial bodies in our solar system, is inexorably drawn towards the sun, its gravitational force exerting a powerful pull. But wait, as we soar through space at a staggering velocity of 67,000 miles per hour we are in orbit.
Why are these details important?
Similar to those who reject the concept of evolution, their narrow perspective limits their ability to comprehend a timeline spanning millions of years. No, it’s not just a belief or opinion, it’s supported by scientific evidence and facts.
About 430 million years ago, the scorpion is thought to have been the first creature to crawl out of the ooze and start breathing oxygen. Fun fact.
Around 4.3 billion years ago, the Earth and Mars were likely much closer to the scorching heat of the sun.
Why?
Back then, the sun was much bigger and had a stronger gravitational pull.
Two things are happening today that people aren’t aware of.
In addition to the sun losing mass daily, the earth is also experiencing a gradual decrease in its own mass.
What?
Have you seen the news blurb or clickbait telling you the moon is pulling further away from the Earth? Why would that be?
It is true that the Earth’s mass decreases by roughly 96,616 tons each day. There are two main mechanisms responsible for this loss:
Each day, approximately 95,000 tons of hydrogen and 1,600 tons of helium evaporate into the void, escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere.
According to Einstein’s famous equation E=mc2, the Earth’s core converts mass into energy, causing the Earth to lose approximately 16 tons of mass daily.
Part of that loss is water.
Approximately 25,920 liters of water evaporate into space from Earth each day. This figure is based on research that measures the release of water vapor from the atmosphere, specifically examining the evaporation of hydrogen and oxygen within water molecules.
Throughout Earth’s existence, approximately 25% of its initial water has been lost, equating to a substantial depletion of roughly 42,000 cubic kilometers. The loss is mainly caused by hydrogen escaping into space, as the water vapor in the atmosphere can decompose under specific conditions, leading to the release of these elements.
Now, my friends, take a look at Mars today and marvel at its vibrant red hue. What happened to the water that was once here?
Now comes the pandering part, where I try to win you over. My book Earth’s Last Hope takes you there in story format.
Being a science fiction writer fills me with a sense of pride as I have the opportunity to create unique and thought-provoking stories. Remember to distinguish between short-term weather patterns and the long-term effects of climate change. Climate change isn’t solely caused by human activity; natural factors like the Sun’s eleven-year cycle of pole reversal also play a significant role.
