But Venus is covered in a thick atmosphere, acting as a blanket, and it doesn't have a chance to cool off. Venus is called the "Greenhouse Planet" for that reason.
So, some will say "ahah!" that's why "we humans" need to stop polluting our atmosphere. We could end up like Venus! Yep....if there was any evidence "we humans" could have that much impact. But, volcanos put more crap into the atmosphere in a couple of days than decades of combined human activity, and volcanos have been doing this for thousands of years....yet, we are still not Venus. Right now there are 18 active, spewing volcanos around the world putting more CO2 (and SO2) into the atmosphere daily! then all combined human activity can produce in a year.
But...here's the problem. Volcanos can't be extorted for $billions. Therefore, the fake "climate change" movement doesn't want people to understand the reality.
And....how did Venus manage to "climate change" itself into what it is today with ZERO human activity? Can it be that such things happen "naturally?"
