Venus & the pholgiston factor

Is the runaway greenhouse effect that heats Venus to the temperature of molten lead a warning to mankind about environmental irresponsibility or is it a load of old cobblers that Carl Sagan pulled out of his arse?

  1. In order for it to be a valid warning, the Venusians would have to be driving really big SUVs. Which means they aren't quite as enlightened as George Adamski led us to believe. :)

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
