Climate Change...On Jupiter


Uh oh this will give Rona Ambrose and the Conservatives another excuse to not deal with climate change here. I can hear the right wing deniers now; "see its natural".

New storm on Jupiter hints at climate change

A storm is brewing half a billion miles away and in a rare event, astronomers get to watch it closely.

Jupiter is growing a new red spot and the Hubble Space Telescope is photographing the scene. Backyard astronomers have been following the action, too.

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.
