"It's weird behavior that hasn't been recognized before on Uranus," Sromovsky said. "It's similar to what's been seen on Neptune,

I don't suppose anyone is going to suggest that these unusual weather patterns across the solar system are indicative of perhaps the sun as a cause for so-called global warming and unusual weather patterns here on earth.

I'll guarantee you though, that had there been recent evidence of unusual clouds on our planet, it would be widely cited as "evidence" of man-made climate change. The solution (as always) would be a global socialist scheme that cracks down on free enterprise as well as intervention in the American economy.

"Whatever is happening has to be well lubricated; it has to be a low-friction environment."

This sentence in a article about Uranus.

Those photos remind me of the comet impacts in Jupiter's clouds, and the resulting disturbances, back 10 years ago. The only difference is that these clouds are white and those clouds were black ... however, the difference in color could be due to the different atmospheric composition. I wonder if they've thought about that? However ... the point is well made: if this is an example of global warming, WHO is doing the dirty deed there?? Certainly not us! So ... if it's the Sun and other natural forces causing climate change on other planets in our solar system, what arrogance makes us think that we're the one's responsible for any climate changes that might be happening here on Earth.
