I started the thread as a joke but it turned into a beast with a life of
its own. My favorite fact about "global warming" is that it's
mislabeled. It should be called "solar system warming" because the other
planets that share our sun have been warming up too. Who/what can we
blame for the warming of the other planets in our solar system?
Martians? Venusians? Klingons?

As it turns out, Mars has not continuously warmed all this time, but
alternated between warming and cooling ruts lasting several years - which,
as it turns out to be, is normal for Mars.

As for other planets - any warming I ever heard of there is some flash
in the pan reported in some rightwing publication once, as soon as anyone
gets a temperature determination warmer than some past determination, and
it takes off as a sign that the sun is getting stronger and causing all
planets to warm.

Meanwhile, we have much more accurate indications of solar output ever
since 1975 than best determination of temperature of other planets at:

Yep, the same tactic the deniers use. *'January was the coldest one
for the past 10 years therefore he world is cooling' ignoring the fact
that January, while the coldest in 10 years, was still warmer than any
in the past 90 years. *No, that is not a fact but just an illustration
of how they think.

Heh! My 1 acre pasture is already greened up. Normally it would be
