Irrelevant Comment: “Mars is warming too, which proves that humans aren't causing global warming.”

Claim

Mars is warming too, therefore humans can't be causing global warming.

Reality

Mars's climate is primarily driven by dust and albedo, not solar variations... and the sun is not causing other planets to warm up.
