Global Warming???
by Roger Levinson
The average temperature on the surface of Venus is around 435 degrees Celcius. The atmosphere on that planet is almost entirely composed of CO2. The atmosphere is 97 times thicker that the atmosphere on this planet according to barometric pressure. The planet receives four times the insolation per square Metre that this planet does. On that basis if CO2 is responsible for global warming the the temperature on Venus should be around 10,000 Decrees C. But it is not. In fact considering the circumstances it is not all that much hotter than our planet's surface. How can it therefore be deduced that the relatively small increase in CO2 on Earth can cause such a vast increase in planetary temperatures? Not that I support in any way CO2 emissions, afterall why the hell should we have to breathe this pollution day in and day out???
