New Study: Jupiter's Hot Temperatures are caused by Auroras (i.e. Solar Activity) - this...

The IPCC didn’t account for this recent bombshell of a discovery — a big rethink of their climate models is in order…

At an average distance of 778 million kilometres (484 million miles) from the Sun, Jupiter should be cold.

Based solely on the amount of sunlight reaching the planet, the upper atmosphere, in theory, should be no warmer than a frigid -73 Celsius (-100F); however, Jupiter, in reality, averages out at a scorching 426C (800F).

This has prompted head scratching for the past five decades.
But the puzzle has just been solved, and, it turns out, the IPCC have had it all wrong.

An international team of astronomers using data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft, the W.M. Keck Observatory and Japan’s Hisaki satellite have pinned down the source of Jupiter’s toasty temps, reporting their findings in the journal Nature.

“We found that Jupiter’s intense aurora, the most powerful in the solar system, is responsible for heating the entire planet’s upper atmosphere to surprisingly high temperatures,” said James O’Donoghue of the JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Sagamihara, Japan.
The IPCC states that the sun has a very limited impact on Earth’s climate, and that rising CO2 levels are the driving force — this stance has long been considered garbage by all those able to think critically, but now we realists have another weapon in our ever-expanding arsenal: auroras.

The IPCC has long stated that “changes in solar irradiance (TSI) are not the major cause of the temperature changes in the second half of the 20th century unless those changes can induce unknown large feedbacks in the climate system”.

Well, these “unknown large feedbacks” are now widely known, and they are numerous — yet, the IPCC is willfully ignoring all of them.
