The time scales make this irrelevant to recent climate change on the

Hmmm...

From the first link you snipped:


Long-term photometric measurements of Neptune show
variations of brightness over half a century.


From the second link you snipped:


Triton, seems to have heated up significantly since the
Voyager space probe visited it in 1989.


From the third link:


Pluto's atmospheric pressure has tripled over the past 14 years,
indicating a stark temperature rise, the researchers said.


From the fourth link:


"One explanation could be that Mars is just coming out of an ice age,"


Skipping the blog entry and going to the sixth link:

"Red Spot Jr." as it is being called, formed after three white
oval-shaped storms-two of which were at least 90 years
old-merged between 1998 and 2000.


So, let's see he Half a century up to stuff that happened
less than ten years ago. Exactly when does stuff have to
have happened to be relevant to recent climate change?

(this "point" comes up again and again nevertheless, among would-be-skeptics
who in actual fact are merely blue-eyed believers in Corpodisinformation)


I'd say this statement tells us exactly nothing about climatology,
but a whole lot about you.

It is quite possible there are explanations for the increased
temperatures reported other than processes that would also
be expected to affect the Earth. I doubt very much that
"corporations are evil" is one of them.
