I vaguely remember seeing some discussion on the Great Red Spot's visible shrinking but that it spans much deeper into Jupiter and the shrinking could just be the upper layer. Still, I believe the Great Red Spot has been going for hundreds of years since our earliest records mention it as well.

Yeah! It's amazing how Jupiter's winds can be so turbulent and yet stay somewhat uniform for so long a time

Climate is changing even in Jupiter, and people think the blame for the climate chanign on earth is man made. /s

The earth is flat, and the climate is changing on a solar system level. Nothing we could do about it! /s

Let's just keep everything as is, and the invisible hand of the market will save us all! /s!
