The “but half the planets in the solar system are warming, and Triton Too!” argument has been debunked so many times that I will not bother to do it here. If interested, here is the best debunking of them all: http://tinyurl.com/2yjcqg I think that it is funny that global warming deniers often point to climate change on other planets to deny that global warming is happening on this one. Also “warming on another planet would be an interesting coincidence but it would not necessarily have the same cause.” Given all of the recent studies published on solar output, it is amazing how many people still blame the recent global warming on the sun. The reality is that solar output (this includes electromagnetic energy from the entire spectrum, as well as cosmic rays) has not increased during recent decades. The following are excerpts from recent research on the link between recent global warming and solar activity (the first report linked i
