Global Warming...On Mars!

I just read an article today that reported that Mars is experiencing warming and has been since the 1970s. <sarcasm>This warming, of course, is quite clearly being caused by human-produced carbon dioxide.</sarcasm> Seriously, it is very interesting to me that Mars is experiencing the same warming as the Earth over the same time as Earth. For Mars, the only apparent cause is increased solar radiation. If the warming on Mars is caused by increased solar radiation, then why are we so quick to blame human activities for the warming here on Earth?
