   HIS EXPERIMENTS proved it was to cold for life of Mars. This is as good as claiming model runs are experiments!
   Big Jim and the rest of the current Climate Chicken Circus are following their mentors examples.

   He was right about the seas; wrong about the timescale. Mars’ ocean(s) disappeared ~3.7B years ago.

   ALLEGED CANALS IN MARS.

   Dr. Arrhenius, the famous Swedish scientist and Nobel prize winner propounded at a meeting of the Stockholm Society of Physics held at Copenhagen (says the correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph”) a new and curious theory concerning the so-called canals in Mars. He said that, as a consequence of various changes, including the thickness of the planet’s crust, several parallel cracks had been formed, which had gradually been filled up with sand. This sand, Dr. Arrhenius argued, contains various salts, which assume different colours, according to the amount of dampness permeating the soil of the planet at different seasons. The “melting snow” often referred to by writers on Mars is, says the doctor, merely evaporation at the Martian Poles. During this evaporation the cracks assume a darker hue, but become light in colour when the temporary dampness had passed away. His theory, Dr. Arrhenius believes, completely explains the reason why the channels change colour. The seas in Mars, he adds, contain a large quantity of sand, and are not very deep. Finally, the lecturer stated that, so far as his experiments went, the temperature of the planet was too low to permit of the existence of plants or any other organism.

   At least the reporter had the sense to use the word ‘alleged’.
