It’s happening faster than anyone would have guessed — with average temperatures rising 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit. One of the results of the spike in temperature is unprecedented violent storm activity, unlike anything that has ever been witnessed in several centuries of observation.

And it’s all happening on Jupiter. The Hubble provides this gorgeous image, showing what are now the three red spots of Jupiter — each one a massive storm system.

The original Great Red Spot is bigger than Earth, and may have been observed as early as the 17th or 18th century. The other two are recent arrivals. It’s interesting that, on Jupiter, intensified storm activity is correlated with an increase in average temperature. Here on earth, some experts have recently come to a rather different conclusion.

It’s also interesting that such climate change is even taking place on Jupiter and, as we have observed, elsewhere in the solar system. How can this be happening on planets where there are no SUVs, and where George W. Bush was never president?

It just doesn’t add up.
