Abstract
⺠We show numerically two temperature solutions can exist for one radiative flux. ⺠One solution is at a cool temperature and one is at a warm temperature. ⺠Mars may equilibrate at the warm solution after cooling from perturbation. ⺠This warm solution represents a long-term greenhouse state. ⺠Impacts may push Mars to this state; rainfall is a result of cooling and collapse.
