Ice ages aren't unique to the Earth. Apparently, there is evidence that Mars experienced ice ages.

What a martian ice age left behind
Travelling up from Mars’s equator towards its north pole, we find Coloe Fossae: a set of intriguing scratches within a region marked by deep valleys, speckled craters, and signs of an ancient ice age.

Today will be New York City's (Central Park) 1,395th consecutive day without a 4" (10.2 cm) or above daily snowfall. That will break the record of 1,394 days that was set during February 22, 1929 through December 16, 1932. #nywx #SnowDrought

Below is the opening paragraph from The Washington Post’s COP 30 story. Rhetoric again does not meet reality. “Stepping up” is largely meaningless without addressing root causes. That’s why the 1.5°C goal is being left behind on a tragic highway toward roughly 3°C warming by 2100.

We witnessed the warmest reading in recorded history so late in the season in my hometown of Atlanta SAT 11/22/2025. Prior 82°F reading was on 11/16/1958. More than 30 years ago, flurries were common here around Thanksgiving. What has changed?😜 @weatherprof.bsky.social @donsutherland1.bsky.social

Select low temperatures from this morning. The lows are particularly impressive, as they occur in a climate that has warmed substantially over even the last 50 years.
