And it's not just the earth that has variations.  Since the Viking spacecraft reached Mars in the 1970's until recent readings were taken, the average temperature on Mars has risen 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit just as the average temperature on the earth has risen.  Since human industrialization is probably not to blame for the change on Mars, other causes are being considered.  The scenario most postulated by those who believe this is due to local changes on Mars and is not is dust storms<ref>http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070404_gw_mars.html</ref>, although solar conditions are certainly a possibility. Recently, it has also been found that similar to the earth and Mars, that [[Neptune]] is undergoing global warming as well.  Measurements taken at the Lowell observatory in Arizona have shown an increase in Neptune's brightness and temperature since 1980 following the same pattern found on the earth, and Mars.  As with Mars, it is assumed this is not due to human influence. <ref>http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2007.../2006GL028764.shtml</ref>

Recently, it has also been found that similar to the earth and Mars, that [[Neptune]] is undergoing global warming as well.  Measurements taken at the Lowell observatory in Arizona have shown an increase in Neptune's brightness and temperature since 1980 following the same pattern found on the earth, and Mars.  The researchers who discovered this warming suggest there may be a correlation between the warming and solar variations.<ref>http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2007.../2006GL028764.shtml</ref>
