Re: An explaination for evidence of water?

Hi everyone,
The URL below suggests that melting CO2 clathrates can form brines which will stay liquid at Martian surface conditions. The URL is here:

I think that clathrates (CO2 'dissolved' in ice) are a significant store of CO2.  If we can warm the planet, this extra CO2 will slowly flow into the air helping the green house warming.

Warm Regards, Rick.
