Neptune is nearly 2.8 billion miles away from the sun. A Neptunian year — the time it takes to orbit the sun — is equivalent to about 165 Earth years.
One result of that has been to expose Neptune's southern pole to the sun for nearly 40 years, warming it up. Because it is so far away, Neptune gets only 1/900th of the sunlight that Earth receives, but it still appears to have had a significant impact.
So the result is that the south pole on Neptune is 18 degrees warmer than the rest of the planet.
And scientists think that the sun--even at 1/900 the strength of the sunlight falling on Earth--accounts for this increase?
The sun warms things up? How delightfully Exxonian! What a laugh! What oil company bought and paid for those denialist astronomers?
The sun?! Honestly, where do they dream up this stuff?
