Not sure where you got 2% seeing as all sources I see say Venus has an albedo of .75. But this doesn't matter much anyway because a great portion of the sun's heating power is on the infared specturm.... which does not get reflected. Also to entirley base the surface temperature on preasure...

My god, I cannot believe how flawed your logic is... so now your argument has regressed to the point where you are saying sunlight has no effect on temperature. Let me break it down even further so your feeble brain can understand: I think that we can agree that atmospheric pressure remains...

You are making a straw man argument...I never said the atmospheric pressure has NO bearing on temperature. I am saying that it alone fails to explain why the night side of Venus does not freeze during the long 243 days that Venus takes to rotate on its axis. As was mentioned earlier, the...

If you are attributing the surface temperature of Venus to the Ideal Gas laws, then how is it possible that the night side of Venus remains the same temperature as the side facing the sun despite the fact that one night on Venus lasts 243 earth days? Clearly the greenhouse effect is responsible...

Sure... my intent was not to misdirect. Plant life on Earth is indeed the reason that our planet does not have the large CO2 amounts of Venus and the reason that we have O2 in the atmosphere. But I am not trying to compare Earth to Venus, I am comparing Venus to Mercury. You are correct that...

Ok as I alluded to earlier, let’s make some observations about planets Mercury and Venus and then draw some conclusions. - Venus is nearly twice the distance from the sun than Mercury is. - Venus is completely covered in clouds which reflect 90% of the sun’s light into outer...

Last time I checked Big Oil was investing less than 1 percent of their profits in renewable energy, therefore I hardly think you can conclude Big Oil being “heavily invested in renewable energy”. I think we both know where their profits are coming from and where their priorities lie. Again...

Your entire argument is an attack on the science behind global warming (you called it pseudoscience many times). Therefore attacking an organization that does not carry out its own original research or monitor climate change is a straw man fallacy and “laughable”. As for your other post, you...

LMAO you are passing that off their "Official policy". Reading comprehension is clearly not your strong suit... re-read the headline. It says a UN IPCC official said that quote.... I hardly think that the opinion of one IPCC official dictates the "Official IPCC Policy" of the entire...

Dodge noted.

No need to try flame and belittle because you cant think rationally. So according to you, scientists all around the world, all from different countries and economic backgrounds, invented global climate change over the course of years for the sole purpose of the redistribution of wealth in the...

If you think that a bunch of scientists who need to "beg for donations, sponsors etc" have more power and influence on government and the public than a huge oil corporation such as ExonMobile, then you are being extremely naive. You are correct that oil companies make money whether the coin...

I personally don't like these subsidies either, so I guess we can both agree on that. But unfortunately at this point we are already too deep to stop subsidies on the Oil industry. If we were to do that, the increase in gas prices would cause in increase in shipping costs and as a result an...

$8.50 per gallon is simply the price payed in other countries like France. As your link pointed out the US government spends $10 to $52 Billion subsidizing the oil industry, so you concede the free market is not as ridged as you initial made it out to seem. How much do we spend subsidizing...

Do you really think that one day a bunch of Scientists from different Universities around the world collectively invented global warming for the sole purpose of gaining government funding? Ask yourself this... which group has more to gain: - University Scientists who "invent global...
