Where does it say it's inside the orbit of Pluto? If that's the case we can assign a value to it, which means it'd be detectable by now. If it's outside the orbit of Pluto, it's anyone's guess. As for it's mass, they're saying is 1.3MJ. From what I've read, the minimum mass of any brown dwarf is 13MJ, and even that number is debated. Maybe someone misplaced a decimal, otherwise all we have is a really big planet.
I think it's a really cool idea but I just don't see any evidence to prove it.

Actually, if it's a brown dwarf, there would be no light coming from it unless you can see in the infrared spectrum. The reason chandler can see it is because it is emitting radiation.

my understanding is a brown dwarf is a star that has used up its fuel and collapsed in to a very dense material. if

2MASS1207-3932 is only 5Mj and Cha 110913-773444 is 8Mj. 13 was the standard in 1999.....

The "global warming" on other planets is attributable to various causes unique to each planet. Six planets? Which six?
There is no increased seismic activity. There have been no 8.0 earthquakes since 2007.
