This guy seems to know a lot about Venus.
I wonder what’s going on, on Pluto, Al?

I was gonna make a joke about Uranus, but it just seemed a little predictable............Kinda like the weather in January in Washington D.C.

Al? You listening?

Everytime I think this guy has reached the lowest depth of stupidity, he proves me wrong by reaching lower. The CO2 in Venus’ atmosphere did not simply cause the temperatures to reach 870 degrees. There were a lot of factors, but basically it appears that Venus got locked in a feedback loop of sorts. Rising temperatures caused by the Sun and lack of sufficient atmospheric protection caused the rock in Venus’ crust to release CO2, exactly as we see on Earth. However, unlike Earth, which has a biosphere to compensate and regulate CO2, Venus had no easy way to deal with the increased CO2 until the solar heating subsided and the atmospheric CO2 was re-absorbed by the crust. Therefore it became a deadly cycle leading to greenhouse heating, more CO2 released, more greenhouse heating, etc.

The key difference is life! Without life on Earth, Earth could get locked in a cycle like Venus, and would be unable to support life. What does Al Gore think caused the CO2 on Venus in the first place? Venusians driving SUV’s?!?

Earth to Sun : 93 million miles
Venus to Sun: 67 million miles

Ya’ think that the SUN might be a factor Al?

Ugh Al, Venus is hot because it is closer to the Sun. Mercury is really hot.
Pluto is really cold, as it is further from that heat source, the Sun.

Al, please don’t touch the red-hot element on the stove

Al Gore states our atmosphere contains 400 parts per million of CO2

That’s 4 parts per 10,000
That’s 0.04 parts per 100

How is it that a scarce particle, widely distributed throughout out atmosphere, is holding in so much heat?
