Plenty of planets faced some pretty radical effects from climate change but it's difficult to compare them because of the different natures of each planet (distance from the sun, size, composition, etc). For example, scientists speculate Venus was once a planet that was very similar to Earth before succumbing to it's own greenhouse effect, however (from what I understand) this was in part because Venus was not able to deposit carbon as a solid the way Earth does.
I was thinking of more recent examples of energetic changes throughout the solar system.
While many of the people studying this are looking at the individual planets, few are looking at the overall energetic changes to the entire solar system. Solar irradiance is not the only energetic input to planetary systems.
Sure, just trying to spread the data. There are also things like the ongoing solar shutdown, and the increase of cosmic rays as a result, which is demonstrated to cause increased cloud cover. I've been collecting this for a while. The myriad energetic interactions that we are exposed to are fascinating. Here are a few more.

That's really interesting! You're right I was only looking at it from a planetary scale, not from the view of the entire system. Thanks for the links!

Thanks! I'm not nearly as familiar with this stuff so this is new to me for the most part!
