I dunno Joecool...all planets were created at about the same time I guess..

A few other planets (not all) seem to have warmed but for reasons that are completely unrelated to the Earth or the Sun.
There are people who aren't scientists that call themselves scientists in all countries, Australia included.
There are also a lot of people who call themselves skeptics when they aren't and we really need to stop calling them skeptics. Let's try global warming denialist.

You have to provide sources with claims like this. It's difficult to respond if you don't.
As it stands I highly doubt that this "report from 'Australian Scientists' (which scientists, might I ask?)" said anything of the kind or was very credible if it did. I have read that Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s moon Triton, and Pluto might be warming, but nothing saying the entire solar system is. Given that there are nine planets and a hundred-fifty or so moons in the solar system, I find it unlikely that a change in solar output would affect the four planets given above and somehow =miss= all of them.
This is added to the fact that research has shown no trend in solar activity since 1978 [1] and very possibly 1940 [2]. Meaning that even =if= every planet in the solar system was undergoing warming it couldn't be due to changes in the sun.

It's strange that these statements never is supported with a link. I would like to read that report and I'm sure all the global warming skeptics would enjoy that too.
I know that some planets are showing signs of warming but not all. This is a common argument from skeptics.

Also, recently scientists has proven (once again) that the sun activity cannot be responsible for warming at this point as the solar output actually is declining since 1985.

Lies. How come there's never a link around when such claims are made? (Maybe there aren't any?)
Anyways, all planets aren't warming. I think they've found signs of it, regional or global, on perhaps 6 of the 173, or so, planets and satellites in our solar system.
Pluto, for instance, is experiencing global warming despite the fact that its orbit is currently taking it away from the Sun.
Mars is having severe dust storms which changes the surface albedo of the planet. This causes more solar radiation to be absorbed.

it is true that all planets are facing waqrming problem let me explain u.
since sun is nearly half aged so from now anvards it will expand and the inside will burn more rpidly causing more and more illumination of heat infact solar flares have deep magnetic effects even at millions of miles away i.e. on earth but u know this warming rate is much more less than one which is caused by humans so action shuold be taken for minimizing global warming.

Somebody lied to you, buddy. Next time ask for a source and fact check your information. I'd make the effort to correct you, but Trevor already did a good job of it.
As with all global warming denier arguments, this one is based entirely on misinformation and lies.

What report? NASA has already said that a fairly innocent scientific report of theirs is being grossly misrepresented as "Global Warming on Mars".
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2005/10/global-warming-on-mars/#more-192
That proves some people don't know much about Mars, but little else. So what report, what planets?

Short answer - no it doesn't and whoever told you that is lying to you, I wouldn't trust anything they say.
Seven out of the 172 solar bodies show signs of warming and each one is for a very different reason. In no case is the sun the cause.
The sun is actually cooling very slightly.
There are more planets and moons that are cooling than warming.
Redeem yourself by adding a link to a credible repoirt claiming all planets are warming.

I think that global warming is being caused by the fact that you Muslim bastards won't stop blowing yourselves up in suicide attacks. LOL

I actually attended a scientific debate on this a few months ago. There was no real consensus either way. But, it was interesting.
