It's sad that they don't have a clue about the subject of AGW. Just displays their ignorance of the actual science. What greenhouse gases can do to planets. Prime example: Venus! The CO2-rich atmosphere generates the strongest greenhouse effect in the Solar System, creating surface temperatures of at least 735 K (462 °C; 864 °F). [90] [91] This makes the Venusian surface hotter than Mercury's, which has a minimum surface temperature of 53 K (-220 °C; -364 °F) and maximum surface temperature of 700 K (427 °C; 801 °F), [92] [93] even though Venus is nearly twice Mercury's distance from the Sun and thus receives only around a quarter of Mercury's solar irradiance, of 2,600 W/m2 (double that of Earth). [4] Because of its runaway greenhouse effect, Venus has been identified by scientists such as Carl Sagan as a warning and research object linked to climate change on Earth. [32] Therefore Venus has been called a greenhouse planet, [94] a planet under a greenhouse inferno. [95] en.wikipedia.org
