The headline alone is worth visiting the thread.

What does Cheryl Crowe know about wiping out Klingons?

A half-square isn’t nearly enough for all of Uranus.

“Has she ever seen Uranus?”, Rosie asked.

Al Gore, for the love of God, please go save Neptune!

Save the solar system!
Time to trade in your Escalades for farting donkeys and get free fertilizer too.

I hear sometimes there’s a gaseous discharge from its soft core.

Damn Republicans! Now they are polluting other planets! Maybe it was caused by a Federation Starship flying by.

Sheryl Crow Recommends 1/2 Square of Toilet Paper To Save Uranus

No way will 2 squares do the job! Reminds me of what my mom told me about life during WWII. (She's an immigrant from another country; this was not in the USA.) Toilet paper was in short supply, basically none available. People had to carry a cloth towel, and hand-clean it afterwards. Oh, running water wasn't dependable either. We have got it real good right now.

The problem with this article is it uses solar output from an outdated reconstruction of solar irradiance (Foukal et al). Foukal's reconstruction contradicts direct satellite measurements that have found solar output has shown no rising trend since 1978, sunspot numbers which have leveled out since 1950, the Max Planck Institute reconstruction that shows irradience has been steady since 1940 and solar radio flux or flare activity which shows no rising trend over the past 30 years.

So if the sun isn't getting hotter, what's causing Neptune's warming? Neptune's orbit is 164 years so observations (1950 to present day) span less than a third of a Neptunian year. Climate modelling of Neptune shows its brightening is a seasonal response. Eg - Neptune is heading into summer.
