More proof that Global Warming – if global warming there be – is driven by solar activity.
According to NASA, Hubble telescopic images of the Kuiper Belt Object (formerly planet) Pluto showed marked atmospheric increase between 1994 and 2003:
“The data reveal an icy molasses-colored world with a surprising amount of activity. Buie compared Hubble images taken in 1994 vs. 2003 and discovered that Pluto’s northern hemisphere has brightened while the southern hemisphere has dimmed. Ground-based observations suggest that Pluto’s atmosphere doubled in mass during approximately the same time period. And no one is certain what’s causing the molasses-colored splotches on Pluto’s surface.”
Now, why would the Plutonian atmosphere double? Solar driven global warming.

If only there was a rocket booster with enough lift to get Al Gore’s sorry carcass beyond the pull of gravity and land him on Pluto so he could check it out personally…..and never report back.

BTDT – There’s gotta be a way! And maybe we could dispence with our own home grown jackass here! Unfortunately, I fear that the horse is out of the barn. WE have earth day coming up later this week I am told, and the earther’s are approaching a frenzy. There was a picture of my Environment Minister simulating Trudough in the local Sun this weekend. Among other things, he was advocating smaller vehicles.
We’ve got to keep asking questions and informing the fools.
