Mars' atmosphere is so thin BECAUSE it is cold, despite being 95% carbon dioxide. Much of it is frozen in permafrost and at the poles. IF it worked the way the AGW people claim that atmosphere would be much thicker and Mars much warmer. I had this argument with an alarmist who said with a straight face "Mars is cold because it's cold". How do you argue with that kind of reasoning?

Venus has such a dense atmosphere because the planet is outgassing huge amounts of carbon dioxide - not because of trapped solar radiation. It is much hotter than Earth, and was even when it's atmosphere was more Earthlike (it once probably had liquid water) and it's slow retrograde rotation and lack of a moon (hence no tides) didn't differentiate the crust so there is volcanic activity all over the planet. It has nothing to do with a "runaway greenhouse effect" as these dopes claim.
