Why is Venus hotter than Mercury?

Well of course ocean warming will cause it to release CO2 that was absorbed at cooler temperatures, but clearly global warming was caused by increased CO2 concentrations.

Solar heat hits the earth on the form of photonic radiation.
How much of that solar energy is retained and how much of it gets re-radiated back out into space, is totally and completely determined by the CO2 at the fringe boundary layer between the atmosphere and space.
If there is no greenhouse gas like CO2 in the atmosphere, then the heat would be radiated out into space easily, and the planet would be cold.
If there is lots of CO2 at this boundary layer, it converts photonic radiation into vibratory heat, which then can not leave the planet, since the vacuum of space can not conduct heat.
Bullshit!
Earthly CO2 is only 0.04% of Earth's DRY atmosphere. Water vapor, H2O, is more like about 10% on average in addition to dry content and is the major significant "greenhouse gas", but even that isn't the main or major source of global warming, or cooling.

"vibratory heat", where'd you make this up from?

Quit digging, you’re in over your head.
 
Venus' atmosphere is so thick it's considered a fluid -- a worldwide ocean. We can NEVER become Venus


The pressure found on Venus's surface is high enough that the carbon dioxide is technically no longer a gas, but a supercritical fluid. This supercritical carbon dioxide forms a kind of sea, with a 6.5% density of water, that covers the entire surface of Venus

Fluid is exponentially more heat retentive than gas... So in effect Venus doesn't actually have a surface it's all underwater So to speak.
