Maybe Jupiter Suffers From Global Warming
The planet Jupiter has lost one of its stripes and scientists are trying to figure out why.
Jupiter has lost one of its iconic red stripes and scientists are baffled as to why.
The largest planet in our solar system is usually dominated by two dark bands in its atmosphere, with one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere.
However, the most recent images taken by amateur astronomers have revealed the lower stripe known as the Southern Equatorial Belt has disappeared leaving the southern half of the planet looking unusually bare.
The band was present in at the end of last year before Jupiter ducked behind the Sun on its orbit. However, when it emerged three months later the belt had disappeared. Daily Mail UK
Perhaps this is from global warming. The people of Jupiter, like those on Mars, have been using fossil fuels and driving their SUVs all over the place just gumming up the works and making stripes disappear.
Of course, since neither of these planets are inhabited it would be foolish to blame any kind of climate change on the problems they face with warming (Mars) or bands disappearing (Jupiter) because that would indicate that warming or climate change on a planet is not man-made.
The most likely explanation for the loss of the band is storm activity, activity that took place in the absence of man…
Though one cannot rule out that global warming is to blame. If we hurry, we might be able to get Gore, Pelosi, Frank, Kerry, Lieberman, Obama and a host of other warmers on a ship and send them to fix the problem.
One can only hope…
Never surrender, never submit.

Better Send Al Gore to Jupiter
May 24, 2008 Political
The Earth is a planet with a fever Al Gore told us and he and the global warming conspiracy nuts want us to do something while they rake in untold billions of dollars in the process. There is no scientific evidence that mankind is causing the warming, a cyclic occurrence that goes back well before our time on this planet, but that has not stopped the Chicken Little’s from demanding action.
Those of us who deny that mankind is causing the problem point to the cyclic history and the thousands of scientists who are skeptical or outright deny GW and we even pointed to Mars as an example. The Red Planet has warmed up and there are no human beings living there so it is possible (and the evidence supports) that it is a natural phenomenon.
There is news out that climate change (the new buzz word for GW) is causing an outbreak of red spots on the planet Jupiter. The spots are storm activity and are near the equator where it is getting warmer. There are certainly no human being living on Jupiter so it is a foregone conclusion that humans did not cause the warming. Imagine that, another planet experiencing global warming. What do all the planets have in common? They rotate around the Sun, the source of heat in our solar system. Sunspot activity has been up during periods of warmth and down during periods of cooling but that has not deterred Gore and his minions on the GW bandwagon from concluding that GW is because of mankind. It is an easy mistake to make because the increase in fossil fuel use occurred at a time when sunspot activity was at an all time high (all time in the period measured).
We need to put Al Gore on a rocket ship and blast him to Jupiter immediately so he can give some Tylenol to the planet which also seems to have a fever. Fever is a sign of infection so perhaps we caught something from one of the others…
While we are at it, perhaps we could send DiCaprio and the rest of the GW sycophants on the little expedition. That would certainly be NASA money that was well spent…
