Global Warming Threatens to Drown the Planet ____ Under 36 Feet of Water

What planet?

Earth? No.

Venus? No.

Mars? Yes! [It's all those pesky SUV probes we've sent.]

From Al Fin:

New radar measurements of the Martian South Pole Ice Cap indicates that enough ice exists there to cover the entire Martian surface under 36 feet of water, were the ice to melt.

This new estimate comes from mapping the thickness of the ice. The Mars Express orbiter's radar instrument has made more than 300 virtual slices through layered deposits covering the pole to map the ice. The radar sees through icy layers to the lower boundary, which is as deep as 2.3 miles below the surface.
