* 'ever recorded' means just that. If it was ever warmer than right now, there was no instrumented recording of it, and evidence would only exist as proxy data.
* According to NASA, the only celestial body warming is Triton, and that's because of it's albedo. This moon's surface is darkening from volcanic fallout, and it's absorbing more solar radiation, like the Arctic and Antarctic as the ice melts away.
* Mars' Martian-annual global average surface temperature is not warming any further than celestial mechanics ( astronomical forcing ) would account for, as far as NASA reports. It would experience diurnal heating and cooling. It's atmosphere is 100% greenhouse gases.
* If Earth were warming from non-greenhouse gas mechanisms, so to would the Moon's lunar annual year. It is not.
* I think you mentioned Jupiter, NASA reports no changes.
* Steller anomalies are not coupled to the troposphere. Space weather is not germane to climate change.
I was going to address NASA's comment, but all that's vanished here.
Bear in mind that the Sun has many types of variable-photon activity, which has nothing to do with climate, like infrared, radio, and x-ray. They can vary 'til the cows come home and it means absolutely nothing with respect to climate.
