Science Daily — An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years.
If I have this right, proportionally this is like one pole of Earth being at about 50 C.
I have a vision of the future and it includes someone using this result out of context to show that global climate change is not occuring on Earth.
