Well, what's the one common factor all planets in this solar system share?
THE SUN!
Shadow vessel waking up?
It is considered a dwarf planet along with about 8 others in our solar system.
The only problem with finding actual facts debunking Global Warming is the UN and the Globalists have 550 TRILLION DOLLARS riding on this over the next 20 years. That's a lot of motivation to keep this as a real issue.
This stinks. Guess we'll be told what we can drive, how far we can go, what we must recycle, how much we can purchase and so on, else pay a tax on any overages. Can't wait. This will tank an economy faster than socialism.
I remember a movie I saw once (I can't remember which- sorry) In which a government overthrow took place, and one of the first things they did in the movie was shoot all the college professors- It puzzled me then (I was young and naive) but now I completely understand why.
college professors HAVE TO BE involved in mutual admiration society and promoting only those who think like them.
where does the 550 Trillion figure come from?
This is a 2002 article. Here's a short little follow-up piece from Discover:
"Pluto, the coldest and most distant planet in the solar system, is getting a dose of global warming. In 1989 it reached its closest point to the sun, causing bits of its icy surface to evaporate into a slight atmosphere. Last summer, Pluto passed directly in front of two stars, allowing two teams of astronomers to study this tenuous shroud of gas. Observations of the distorted starlight showed that Pluto’s nitrogen-rich atmosphere—although still frigid with temperatures between -274°F to -391°F, depending on the altitude—is distinctly warmer than it was when last observed in 1988. The atmospheric pressure has doubled, too. Since the planet has been moving away from the sun for the past 14 years, the results come as a surprise. “The most likely explanation is thermal lag,” says MIT astrophysicist James Elliot, one of the team leaders. “On Earth, the days are longest in the northern hemisphere near the end of June, but the hottest month is July. Similarly, Pluto may not reach maximum surface temperature until a decade or so from now.” Astronomers hope they will be able to get a close view of Pluto’s enigmatic environment before things cool down and the atmosphere begins to collapse. Despite constant threats from budget-slashing administrators, NASA’s New Horizons mission is on schedule for launch in 2006, with a Pluto flyby anticipated for 2015."
So I'd say weren't not responsible. Neither is the Sun.
Duh. It's the Sun.

How about Mars?
Yes, Pluto was "de-planetized." It just heard the news, and it's steamed.
The irregular orbit of Pluto causes seasons. The fact that it is heating up as it moves away from the Sun is no more surprising than the fact that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere tend to be colder in January than in December.
But what's this about Mars heating up?
We share a little more in common than just the sun. Our solar system is moving through the galaxy as a unit. That transit has a period around 26,000 years. The solar system as a unit experiences influences from its surroundings. The periodic changes we can measure in ice and volcanic flows are earth are likely measurable in similar fashion on other planets in our solar system.
There is a lag between light and heat. The June/July observation is an example of how it happens on earth. The lag time may be longer for Pluto. The orbit is different.

"Global warming that is occurring throughout the solar system must be caused BY THE SUN, not by man.
Global warming is also occuring on Mars and on Neptune's Moon Triton"
__________________________________________________________
I've been sayin' that for about 2 years now. It's not caused by cow farts or tail pipe emissions.
The answer is out on the web. It's there if ya know what to look for.
....and no, I'm not tellin.
"It takes time for materials to warm up and cool off, which is why the hottest part of the day on Earth is usually around 2 or 3 p.m. rather than local noon," Tholen said. "This warming trend on Pluto could easily last for another 13 years."
And is why the shortest day of the year in the Nothern Hemisphere is 21 December, but the coldest tempratures aren't until mid January.
The same is true in the Summer. June 21 is the longest day of the year, but the heat doesn't really come on until July.
So, explain to me, mr. Climatologist, how my SUV is responsible for UNIVERSAL WARMING?
"We share a little more in common than just the sun. Our solar system is moving through the galaxy as a unit. That transit has a period around 26,000 years.

...you're on the right track.
