Can’t possibly go there now.

Clearly too much global warming going on!

Venus’ atmosphere is almost 100 percent carbon dioxide (on Earth it’s practically a trace element, approximately .041% but was several times higher during the age of the dinosaurs). Shouldn’t be at all surprising that the atmosphere of a planet outside our solar system contains it as well.

Technically the discovery was not made by the Webb telescope. It might have been made with the Webb telescope but telescopes don’t discover things, people do.

Uuuummmmmmm, Venus and Mars are Alien worlds, we've detected CO2 for 50+ years now.

I can’t believe a space thread where the words Uranus and Klingons orbiting have not appeared in the first 5 posts. Just to make sure: Klingons around Uranus.

It could have been an “in before…” post, as in “in before Klingons around Uranus.”

This is very interesting. I hadn’t really thought about the composition of Venus’ atmosphere being so much carbon dioxide. I thought it was mostly nitrogen and sulfur. The presence of carbon dioxide in Venus’ atmosphere in such proportion is why we have global warming fear on Earth. They look at how hot it is and worry that Earth is going to go the same way. The reasoning is a real stretch because there is a trace amount of water in the atmosphere in the Sahara and we don’t think people will drown there from it.

Venus is mostly CO2 but compressed to 90 atmosphere.
The equivalent of 3000ft of water on Earth.

And it came from the IR optics not the big six sided optics

Due to all of this exo-planetary CO2, Greta and AOC say the galaxy will end in 10 years, the entire universe shortly after.

Water vapor is the strongest and most abundant greenhouse gas.

Google “gasoline molecule” and count the Cs and Hs. Complete combustion turns 1 C into CO2 and 2 Hs into water vapor.

The products of combustion are a wash.

I’ve always wondered why water is NEVER discussed.
