Jupiter’s Great Red Spot — one of the most iconic and well known features in the solar system — is shrinking, and nobody knows why.

Personally, I blame mankind for this alarming solar climate change. We really should have some new taxes introduced to curb our excesses.

It's a storm so maybe it's run its course...? Whats the big deal...

Maybe it's a time keeper. When it completely disappears the end will come.

This is probably our fault... we better get our emissions under control before Saturn's rings fall off

It's time for the USA and the new Soviet Union under Putin to put away our differences and put forward a joined space mission to Jupiter. We can even ask the Chinese to tag along.

Yes, especially China... think about the blow to their national pride to think that the most prominent RED spot in our solar system is waning!

Think about it!

That red spot has been there, like, forever.

Only now when mankind has developed amazing technologies and many Americans are living in houses with 10 TVs with 4 cars on their driveways and use many gallons of water just to brush their teeth - only then has this red spot started to disappear. Coincidence?? I think not!!!

I blame global warming. It's the blame for everything you know.

 

[IGBT]

..yes. We must construct ruinous public policy around alarmist eco-KOOK rhetoric and liberal mythology. This is more evidence that the sky is falling. We must find a way to guilt the populous into believing it's all their fault.

It's probably older than the United States. That's the big deal.

It comes and goes all the time.

Dang and I just started the Redspot religion. Guess it time to move to Guyana. Or waco would just have to puck up some guns.

Wait, does this forum really have to turn everything into a political circle jerk?

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Actually, its size fluctuates but AFAIK it's been continuously observed since the 1800s.

I really hope you're kidding about not realizing he's kidding, because if you're not kidding and can't see he's kidding you should seek help (don't kid yourself any longer).

All kidding aside though, he really was kidding.

Spoiler

jk?

A carbon tax should fix it right up.

Is there a monster equivalent for people who can't see jokes and sarcasm?
