Not just Earth, Mars, and Pluto anymore

The World Climate Report notes an inconvenient correlation:
[A]n article has appeared in a recent issue of Geophysical Research Letters showing a stunning relationship between the solar output, Neptune’s brightness, and heaven forbid, the temperature of the Earth...

Neptune has been getting brighter since around 1980; furthermore, infrared measurements of the planet since 1980 show that the planet has been warming steadily from 1980 to 2004.
It's amazing how given the documented increase in solar activity and intensity in the past quarter century and the documented warming on Mars, Pluto, and now Jupiter, people still insist that the same effects that are obviously not caused by mankind there are caused by mankind here.

It's almost as if they viewed mankind itself as the problem. Nah, that would be crazy.
