<sarcasm>Oh, well. I guess Earth is going to end up like Venus now (despite Venus' atmosphere being 96% CO2 and the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets.)</sarcasm>

Botulinum toxin less than the weight of a grain of sand can kill a man. What's your point exactly?

I think he's trying to say that the very tiny amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is responsible for all the heat we have, and the more we keep adding the hotter it will get, considering the effect the tiny amount already has.

Well when the primary drivers of the green house effect gets increased by over 30%, you'd expect to see some changes.

Unless you have the intelligence of a squirrel.

Venus is so hot that the water is separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen. The Hydrogen and Oxygen ions are lost to space because of Venus' lack of magnetic field. The ESA's Venus Express probe measured this.

I doubt it. That would be like saying you can heat an auditorium in the middle winter by standing in the middle with a lit bic lighter.

Pluggy seems like a reasonable guy so I doubt he'd say that.

And why don't one of you Bill Nye, science guys explain why it isn't the massive pressure on Venus causing the heat. At least explain to us how the sunlight is getting through the thick toxic cloud cover to act on CO2.

Venus isn't Earth and Botulinum toxin isn't CO2. I'm not a Bill Nye, Science Guy myself but even I know that.

Primary greenhouse gas is water vapour Try asking a squirrel.

So why is Venus so hot, but has so little water?

Maybe because it's closer to the sun, said the squirrel, or maybe the planet did not capture enough oxygen or hydrogen to form water, said the other squirrels.

What ?
The sun has nothing to do with global warming,
it's all down to plastic straws.

All of which are wrong. Venus is in the 'Goldilocks zone' for our star. It's mass is similar to Earth, so it had the same opportunity to capture a similar amount of water from comets as Earth. And Squirrles don't speak.

When plants first evolved on Earth, they consume all of the CO2 in the atmosphere, and that teeny amount was what was keeping temperatures warm, but not too warm like Venus. It is thought to have caused a 'snowball earth' effect, 2 or 3 billion years ago, resulting in a frozen planet for nearly a billion years until volcanic activity thawed it. Plenty of water, no CO2.

Because being the goddess of love does not necessarily means that she wants it now.

Maybe if she has a moon or two, she'd be wetter.
