Based *only* on the data I mentioned, that other planets are getting warmer
as well, then the logical inference *is* that a common factor is involved,

One supposes that you might have checked to see if actual
measurements of the solar flux agreed with what you were
being told. Remember, the people making up the "Mars is
warming too it must be the sun" argument are the same
people promoting "Intelligent Design" and young Earth
cosmologies.

So? They probably also promote the idea that drinking milk is healthy

idea from who is promoting it, per se.

Agreed. That's why you should check what they say.

They are not different in that regard than anyone else. I'm wondering
why you brought them up, if not to argue a fallacy?
