No. This is the Aroaring Saturnalias, which I think was a Roman holiday that got out of hand and had to be moved to New Orleans.

A green glow around Saturn is one thing. A green glow around uranus, now that’s something else entirely.

Mysterious? Aren't those a lot like the gaseous clouds around Uranus? Don't blame me! I use Beano...

Notice that the aura is in the shape of an "O" Actually, it has been known for quite a while that the features surrounding Saturn's north pole are not circular, but are hexagonal. (Just look at the red "ring inside the "aurora" in your photo...)
FWIW, I have never seen a good explantion for the hexagonal formations...

While this article doesn't directly address observed evidence of warming of Saturn this is a good time to point out many recent articles that have for Saturn and other bodies of the solar system:
