Via National Geographic:

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet’s recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human-induced—cause, according to one scientist’s controversial theory.

Doesn’t sound all that controversial to me. I’ll bet you those little piss-ant Mars Rovers didn’t pass California emissions!

Have a look at this over at CO2 Science:

… there is no compelling reason to believe that earth’s current warmth is sustained to any degree by its extra 100 ppm of CO2. It’s the enhanced activity of the sun that is likely responsible for it.

Criminally irresponsible! This is TREASON!

And on Science Daily (via Daily Pundit), Arctic Ocean Circulation Does An About-Face:

A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales. The results suggest not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming.

HERETICS! BURN them at the stake of Global Warming!

Over at Space.com, Pluto’s SUVs are baffling scientists:

They suspect the average surface temperature increased about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or slightly less than 2 degrees Celsius.

Even Neptune’s Moon, Triton is getting in on the HOT ACTION:

“At least since 1989, Triton has been undergoing a period of global warming,” confirms astronomer James Elliot, professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Percentage-wise, it’s a very large increase.”

#$&%@! Looks like we’ll have to purchase EXTRA carbon credits to cover all of those damn coal plants on Triton. But that’s okay, it’s not like Al Gore is going to profit!

Meanwhile, over at the NY Times:

Along with rising temperatures, global warming is very likely to cause a shift toward more extreme weather — stronger storms with more rainfall, and longer and more severe droughts. Those changes are likely to have large-scale, obvious effects on farmlands, grasslands and forests and on the creatures that inhabit them.

Riiiiiight. Like the 2006 Hurricane Season and the “very active 2007 hurricane season“? One word. Fizzle.

Now all of this isn’t to say that because other planets are warming, that it means the sun is warming everything and that’s that. Not at all. What all of these facts do indicate is this:

1) Warming occurs on planets other than our own and scientists remain “baffled” (their words, not mine).

2) There are no SUVs on these planets (Though Kucinich might say otherwise)
3) Al Gore’s carbon footprints are all over this kind of hysteria - because he profits from it.
4) We cannot predict weather one season ahead, yet it’s a fact that if we don’t act right now, the seas will swell up 20 feet, all the polar bears will die, and Bush will be to blame.
5) There’s oodles of scientific evidence showing that the Earth has gone through periods of warming and cooling - much more drastic than this one - and yet there was no industry. There were probably more cows though. DAMN FLATULENT COWS!

It’s a big load of crap. All of it. Does the climate change? Yes. That’s why it’s cool in the winter, and warm in the summer. Is it our fault as naughty humans?

Hardly.

It’s been happening since well before we were here, and it’ll continue to happen well after we’re all gone.
