From what I've read in the setiathome forums, the SETI Institute/Allen Array has no plans to utilize setiathome software for data analysis. Setiathome will remain strictly a Project Phoenix (Arecibo-based) project. It's important to note that there is no one single "SETI" organization that controls all ET research. Project Phoenix at Berkeley is one, SETI Institute is another, the optical SETI project at Harvard is a third...there are multitudes.

Submission + - Scientist: Sun is Warming Both Earth and Mars

MCraigW writes: "Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural — and not a human-induced — cause. Earth is currently experiencing warming, which climate scientists say is due to humans pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.

In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.

Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun."
