I should apologize for my prior message- I left a VERY
critical part out-

Planetary science has pretty well verified that the
greenhouse effect and the effect of airborne particulates
can have a direct and rapid change on a planet's surface
conditions- we've observed this on Titan (way warmer
than it should be at that distance from the Sun), Mars
(which gets cooler during dust storms), and Venus
(which has surface temperatures way higher than
they should be based on its level of insolation).

What has NOT been defined, and what I neglected to
mention earlier, is whether or not humanity is a cause
of these phenomena on Earth.
