This guy is a 1980s equivalent to a go-fund-me quack. Venus is only 900F compared to 57F but in absolute terms it's only 4 times hotter. Based on Venus 90 TIMES MORE CO2 concentrations, but he doesn't say 1 day on Venus is 243 earth days (meaning convective heat transfer dominates radiative much more than here), venus has 75 TIMES atmospheric density (no way for radiation to escape planet), and is 2/3rds the distance from the sun (exponentially increasing energy going into system). This basically gives venus no way to release energy compared to ours. Our hubris knows no bounds to think we can control a planet 1 or 2 degree Kelvin... which is a very miniscule amount in absolute temp (1/3 of 1% of our planets temp) by controlling the tiniest fraction of 1 greenhouse gas. The sun could fart the wrong way for a decade and do +/- 20 times this. Did you know oxygen and nitrogen are 1000s of times more effective at heating our planet because there's 10s of 1000s more O2 & N2 molecules? EVERY molecule is a greenhouse gas when you have enough of them. A gigantic hack trying to talk over everyone's heads for his own gains
