But I believe that in 2010 Jupiter's solification was caused by the monolith aliens with their godlike technology, not by humans.

Been awhile since I've seen 2001 or 2010. I always thought the monolith was just a symbol and Arthur C Clarke was trying to tell us we're not alone. I had to go back and read 2001 over (didn't bother with 2010) and still had no idea what he was trying to say. Both movies were dogs (great special effects for their times).

To be honest, I never read the book. I was just going by the movie.
