Just saw on the news that Jupiter is suffering from global warming, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Question

Are people driving their SUV's up there? How is my CO2 footprint doing this.

Answer 1

god dam Republicans are cutting down all the Jupiter trees and too many SUV's there.

Answer 2

I think it has less to do wtih pollution than it does the natural evolution of a planet.

Answer 3

Unlike Earth, Jupiter's atmosphere is comprised almost entirely of what we call greenhouse gases.  It's no surprise.

Answer 4

global warming, caused by man, is a farce. the sun has heating and cooling episodes, it varies in the way it burns hydrogen (sun spots) it heats all planets equally, all get warmer and cooler at the same time!

over the next 7 years look for "global cooling".

Answer 5

LOL what? Where did you hear that?

Answer 6

The Jupiterians never signed the Kyoto Accord.  Boy I guess they're sorry now!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Astro-physicists and Astronomers do not know why the planets are heating up-- even Uranus and Neptune are heating--- stay tuned.

Answer 8

Bystander 1: It's a bird!

Bystander 2: It's a plane!

Me: No, it's Al Gore in his multi- million dollar privet jet.

Al Gore: Here I come to save the day!

Answer 9

Global warming is exactly what it sounds...GLOBAL. Not on a solar-system level. Only on a planetary level. Your carbon footpring means everything here on earth, but on Jupiter, it means nothing. Global warming on Jupiter could be caused by any number of things. For example: maybe there was some liquid CO2 at the bottom of the Jovian ocean, under pressure. It maybe found a hotspot and warmed up enough to become a gas, and then exploded violently to the surface. Massive releases of carbon dioxide such as above have happened on Earth as well, and have been responsible for many climate fluctuations throughout the years.

Answer 10

Human CO2 emissions are not the only cause of climate change.  Nobody is claiming otherwise.

"The global change cycle began when the last of the white oval-shaped storms formed south of the Great Red Spot in 1939. As the storms started to merge between 1998 and 2000, the mixing of heat began to slow down at that latitude and has continued slowing ever since.

The movement of heat from the equator to Jupiter's south pole is expected to stop at 34 degrees southern latitude, where Red Spot Jr. is forming.

This will create a big wall and stop the mixing of heat and airflow, the thinking goes. As a result, areas around the equator become warmer, while the poles can start to cool down."

Answer 11

Jupiter is not suffering from global warming  it is not possible it have a lot of moons and a lot of asteroids in orbit to its gravity

Answer 12

According to the 26 spacetime dimensions of Bosonic string theory, the CO2 molecules here on Earth can travel through Calabi-Yau spaces and show up on Jupiter for brief periods of time.  Jupiter actually generates more energy than it receives from the Sun, so our CO2 molecules warm the planet by trapping Jupiter's thermal output, sort of like pink R-33 insulation and Tyvek sheeting for your home.

Answer 13

Half the planets of the solar system are warming; half are cooling. If anything, all this shows is that the sun plays less of a role in temperature anomaly than AGW skeptics would have you believe--thus strengthening the AGW argument. lololol

Answer 14

The Jupiterians are driving humongous SUV's and burning Jupiter's coal, which is 3.8 times as strong as Earth coal.  Their cows also f**t twice as much as earth cows.

Answer 15

with Al Gore, all things are possible, especially if they're negative things.   Actually it is very possible that those little green people that have been visiting us with their flying saucers, have finally reverse engineered our SUVs and are using them on Mars and maybe even Jupiter.  

Your CO2 footprint can do anything that Al Gore says.  Just bow down to almighty Al and live in fear for that is his plan for your life.

Answer 16

Jupiter is probably just rebounding from a little ice age due to the shoemaker-levy asteroid strikes.
