Mars has had massive planet darkening storms over the last 30 years that reduce the planet's albedo (reflectivity) which has a warming effect. Jupiter's "warming" is a regional effect in what is an extremely volatile climate (eg - storms the size of Earth). Ditto for Saturn - the warming observed was a regional phenomena.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647636476602224843noreply@blogger.com
