Regarding Venus, that could be used to counter global warming if we wanted.
I don’t have time to do the math myself, but from wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight
Venus - 2647-2576 W/m2
Earth - 1413-1321 W/m2
So Venus receives about twice as much solar radiation as the earth does. So the sun has a huge impact in “global warming.”
Shame on you. You know you can't bring things like actual laws of Physics into the Global Warming 'debate'.
Real Science makes the cultist's heads explode.
(they are living proof of the Einstein quote I have as my Tagline. Stupidity has no limits.
