same could happen to... eg. the gulf stream! europe would be frozen like sibiria...
look around, in fact there are people anticipating a shutdown: http://www.gulfstreamshutdown.com/

Please don't bring that politicized stuff into the discussion. That's a different flame war entirely. If Jupiter is warming/cooling or Mars is warming/cooling, then something has to be responsible for it, and it sure isn't human activity. If not the sun, then what? Something about planetary environments we're likely interested in learning more about, right?
You don't get to just label contrary scientific findings as 'political', and dismiss it out of hand. Here's the published paper that the article refers to: http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/3/2/024001/ The correlations don't hold up under analysis, and that's really all there is to be said on the subject. But if you feel that you can refute that paper with evidence, then go for it. I for one would love for you to b…
I didn't dismiss/refute/claim anything or intend to start yet another global warming flame war. I'm probably as familiar with that research as you are and I'm not refuting it.
If other planets are warming/cooling then something is responsible for it. If it's not the sun, then it's something else related to planetary environments with which we are not familiar. Studying that would be A Good Idea, regardless of where people stand on global warming, because examining Earth alone just gives us a single data point.
What's happening on Mars? Does it parallel the changes we're seeing on Earth to some degree? What's happening in Jupiter's atmosphere to bring about such a dramatic change in a short period of time?
Could we see a similar dramatic change on this planet?

I agree that sending probes thought the solar system is interesting, but other planets are not worming. PS: This is the second time the band has disappeared discovering why that happens may be interesting like the North pole hexagon cloud pattern over Saturn but it's probably not a temperature effect: http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060519/full/news060515-17.ht...
Do we have sufficient data to conclude that other planets are not warming? How far back does our accurate, consistent measurement go? Years? A decade or two? I'm not sure we have sufficient data to conclude anything right now. We know astoundingly little about the neighbourhood we live in.
Do we have sufficient data to conclude that other planets are not warming?
Yes.
The theory that the sun is causing global worming fails on several levels and there is zero evidence from the data we have that global the sun is causing global warming.
PS: Presenting a theory with zero support and then requesting more evidence from theory’s that have support is not rational behavior. You can request all the evidence you want but at the end of the day whichever theory has the MOST evidence is more likely to be correct.
