-55°C (-67° F). Not really "exactly the same".
Ironically, if Mars ever did have the same temperature as Earth, it would be due to global warming from the greenhouse effect. The atmosphere of the Red Planet is less than 1 percent as thick as Earth's, but it's mostly carbon dioxide. That gas raises the planet's temperature a few degrees. On Earth, given our distance from the Sun and other factors, the average temperature should hover around freezing. Thanks to greenhouse gases like CO2, it's far more clement … but since we're adding huge amounts of carbon dioxide to our air, it won't stay that way for much longer.
People would actually be a whole lot better off if those coal mines were on Mars.
Just as we'd be a whole lot better off if all our politicians acknowledged the reality of reality and our media kicked folks who think otherwise to the curb. I applaud the BBC for its stance (as well as the L. A. Times and other venues), and hope to see a lot, lot more of this in the near future.<end_of_turn>
