It doesn't matter whether or not the outer planets are also getting
warmer; adding the results of burning fossil fuel is changing the
composition of the atmosphere - and if the Sun's output is increasing,
will cause *even more* of the sun's energy to be captured. As I said, no
computer model is necessary to make that assessment.


If the outer planets are getting warmer, and we're an inner planet...


WOW - a separate (OT) thought!

Sometime in Greek/Roman times, or later, in the Middle Ages of Europe, I
wonder if people stood on their western shores and smelled smoke from across
the ocean? There must be something out there, they reasoned - land!

Think of the GIANT grass fires in 352 BC...

I got this idea remembering the GREAT Yellowstone blaze of 1988. We smelled
smoke (SMELLED SMOKE!) in the air for weeks and weeks. Our sky, even at
noon, was darkened. Sunsets were red and hazy all summer (July-Sept).

We live 1,000 miles away from Yellowstone, on the Minnesota/Wisconsin
border.
