Aside from the fact that Pluto's warming has not been correlated with increased solar radiation, it should be noted that Pluto's orbit is a far greater factor in its current temperature than any likely changes in solar output could ever be. Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric and lasts 247 years, so it should be expected to have warming trends that last for about 223 years as it approaches the sun, each followed by a cooling trend that lasts for about the same. We are now seeing one such warming trend.

Irrelevant Comment: “Pluto is warming too, which proves that humans aren't causing global warming.”
seedling article
This article is incomplete. It might be useful as a reference, but avoid offering it as a definitive presentation. Information about the dates of Pluto's nearest aphelion and perihelion would be useful.

Claim

Pluto is warming too, therefore humans can't be causing global warming.

Reality

Aside from the fact that Pluto's warming has not been correlated with increased solar radiation, it should be noted that Pluto's orbit is a far greater factor in its current temperature than any likely changes in solar output could ever be. Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric and lasts 247 years, so it should be expected to have warming trends that last for about 223 years as it approaches the sun, each followed by a cooling trend that lasts for about the same. We are now seeing one such warming trend.
