Global Warming problem or Solar Heat Cycle?
Question:
what are the odds that out of the 5 heating planets
(Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune's moon Triton, and Pluto)
in our solar system, only 1 of them is not heating up because of natural variables? I know it's a pretty simple math problem, but how many people are there who stubornly refuse this logic because of political partisanship?
What is causing gobal warming on the other 4 orbs that have no biological life on it?
Answer:
The NASA scientists who measured Mars say it's giant dust storms, and that the warming on Earth is different.

Solar heat is carefully measured and included in all serious global warming analyses. It's a factor, but, for the last 25 years, not the main one.

If it's solar heat why are only 5 planets heating up?
Solar scientists have looked into this extensively, and say it's not the cause.

You're basically asking us to believe that thousands of scientists are stupid and ignore solar heat, or that they're engaged in a giant conspiracy. And that almost every major scientific organization is acting for those reasons:

The bottom line (note the source):
"While evidence suggests fluctuations in solar activity can affect climate on Earth, and that it has done so in the past, the majority of climate scientists and astrophysicists agree that the sun is not to blame for the current and historically sudden uptick in global temperatures on Earth, which seems to be mostly a mess created by our own species."

If it's just partisanship, someone forgot to tell this guy:
"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Republican) challenged fellow conservatives Tuesday to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"
That point was investigated--and answered--years ago.
And as to your fake "odds" question: wehave the evidence of the specific cause of Earth's global warming--human produced CO2. Your question amounts to "since sfome forest fires are natural, it doesnt make sense to say that the sparks from a careless campers fire started a fire, even though we have a video of it happening.
BS
current scientific research is accompanied by an inconvenient truth known as a conflict of interest. when the government gives them millions of dollars in research grants and tells them 'now go find us some evidence of man made global warming', then that's exactly what they will find. don't buy into it, don't believe the hype, whatever you want to call it. i'll continue driving my gas guzzling suv, if someone else wants to look like a dork driving around in their prius, that's not my fault. i can see why people would be bitter at the world when they're driving one of those priuses with their rainbow bumper sticker and using candles to light their house.
1. Earth's global warming is caused primarily by human activity.

2. Mars is not warming globally. It may be warming at the South Pole, but not at the North Pole.

3. Jupiter is not warming globally. It is undergoing climate change due to the 70-year cyclic disappearance of atmospheric vortices. This will cause Jupiter's equator to warm and its poles to cool.

4. Triton appears to be warming due to volcanic activity. This is not a solar effect. (I'm not citing a link here because it's from your own link, which I expect you have read.)
5. Pluto is warming because it is near perihelion in its 248-year highly elliptical orbit. No surprise there.

Mars has two electric vehicles that MAN put there. We infected the other three too, somehow. The global warming crowd can figure a way that we caused it all. They have a political investment in it, so they have to. Or they could ignore it. That works really well for them too.
Isn't our atmosphere different than the other 4 "planets"
Could this not create a variable in your mathematic question?
I see that you are promoting the idea that GW is caused by natural cycles. However, here is an equally simply math problem, for you: If there are 173 planets/satellites in our Solar what are the odds that only 5 of them show any sign of heating if it were due to a common element -the Sun. You also forgot to mention which political partisanship you confess to?
You should get your facts straight. Mars is not heating up. One of its polar caps, which is made of CO2, is melting due to it facing the Sun. At the same time is the other polar cap increasing in size. This is a natural balance. This has nothing to do with global warming, but is a regional one. None of these planets/satellites has heating that is due to the Sun.
While I won't dismiss the possibility of an increase in solar heat playing a part in the latest warming trend, I just can't see it as the definitive factor. I believe that there are a number of factors at play, also. There is more than one way for us to receive more sunlight. I'm wondering if we have got our "wobble" down. While we've known for a while the existence of these Milankovitch cycles, because their periods cover tens of thousands of years, it may take considerable more observations to get the exact "shape" of these cycles. Earth's orbital period is one year, but it still took us many, many years to arrive on the exact shape of the orbit.
