those scientists sound retarded.

Just because something is a certain way on Earth, it has to be that way every else?
Don't forget- Uranus and Neptune are composed of large portions of methane. Let's look for life there while we're at it.

R: It even had the word Mars in the title



Also:

On Earth, methane is produced in massive quantities by animals such as cows, sheep and goats, as well as by geological processes.

Saturn's moon, Titan, also has a lot of organic compounds, including methane and ethane.

I still say the best bet for life is on Jupiter's moon, Europa. Indications are that it has some sort of sub-surface ocean, responsible for resurfacing its very young, very smooth surface of ice. This ocean could be more than 2-3x the volume of all of Earth's oceans.

I've always noticed large amounts of methane being emitted by Uranus.

True, but the OP doesn't spell it that way.

Methane? uh, oh, sounds like Mars has a global warming problem. Time to tax the "life" that is creating the methane.

The big deal is that there hasn't been any evidence of any significant geological activity on Mars within our lifetime. There are no active volcanic sites known.
