Suggestive correlations between the brightness ofNeptune, solar
variability, and Earth's temperature

Old news. of course earth's temperature also varies from solar changes.

Temperature change - solar change = leftover change. See how that works?

Abstract
Long-term photometric measurements of Neptune show variations of
brightness over half a century. Seasonal change in Neptune's
atmosphere may partially explain a general rise in the long-term light
curve, but cannot explain its detailed variations. This leads us to
consider the possibility of solar-driven changes, i.e., changes
incurred by innate solar variability perhaps coupled with changing
seasonal insolation. Although correlations between Neptune's
brightness and Earth's temperature anomaly-and between Neptune and two
models of solar variability-are visually compelling, at this time they
are not statistically significant due to the limited degrees of
freedom of the various time series. Nevertheless, the striking
similarity of the temporal patterns of variation should not be ignored
simply because of low formal statistical significance. If changing
brightnesses and temperatures of two different planets are correlated,
then some planetary climate changes may be due to variations in the
solar system environment.
