More proof that we must end "fossil" fuels.
Neptune’s temperature drop is due to switching to EV’s from gasoline engines. /S
Those evil white males with pocket protectors and slide rules made the Voyager Spacecraft fly by Neptune. Launched in the 1970s, they successfully calculated what was called the Grand Tour: Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and, of course, Uranus.
The Woke Wackos of Climate Change will probably blame the Neptunian Climate Change on those evil Caucasians with pocket protectors. They’ll say Voyager was permanently tinged with white privilege and white supremacy. They will demand that Elon Musk make amends for ruining Twitter by sending Starship to retrieve and re-educate Voyager, to get Voyager’s mind right.
(Voyager has, or will soon, leave the entire Solar System. Look up heliosphere to learn more about really ‘leaving’ the Solar System, and entering interstellar space.)
Sort of suspected something like that as my old bones seemed to be getting harder to keep warm, for the past few years...
Guess its time to move to the south pole...
Is Uranus also getting hot or cold?
That’s so magnanimous of you. 🤣
We obviously need to send a bunch of federal bureaucrats to Neptune immediately. In fact, let’s send them all there.
Elon, quick, help us out here. We need the super-gigantic Starship. Probably a whole fleet of them. No return is necessary.
(1) Neptune, Earth and other large planets have accumulations at their core of uranium that cause ongoing nuclear reactions that produce heat. These reactions are variable due to periodic poisoning and then clearance by decay of adverse isotopes.
(2) Magnetic and gravitational influences from the solar system input energy into Neptune, which varies according to its polar inclination and its angle to the plane of the ecliptic. (3) There are clumps of dark matter that are associated with the solar system that react with visible matter and can input energy on variable basis.
Just Stop Earl
So - parts warmed up and others cooled down - with, likely, a net sum zero change in planetary temperature - just like on Earth....
