So, if it's not solar insolation causing global warming, which is not

Oh now that is wonderful - do you have a cite I can hit people

I'm puzzled. Are you not aware that the Martian ice caps are melting?

They melt and refreeze seasonally; see e.g.

Have you a reference claiming a long-term trend in a significant
change in their overall size?
