I was at a garden center a few years ago, contemplating the purchase of some shrub or tree that was rated for a slightly warmer zone than the one I live in. I said to the sales lady, “Well, maybe I’ll go ahead and get it and hope for global warming.” Her jaw dropped and she yelped “Shame on you!”
I had just committed blasphemy. I’m a lost soul...
“A TV program about Venus has always gotta talk about the content of CO2 in the Venus atmosphere, that why it’s so hot and it’s happening here on Earth, too (with the usual somber music).”
Yeah, the temperature on Venus has absolutely nothing to do with the thickness of the atmosphere. No such thing as PV=nRT anymore. Its funny, when they mention Venus, they never seem to mention that Mars atmosphere is 99% CO2...even more interesting and never mentioned about Mars, is that despite the fact that Mars atmosphere is 99% CO2, its measured temperature is almost identical to its theoretical black body temperature.
Don't say that you don't believe in Global Warming. The globe DID warm in the 1990s, by a degree or two, and you can acknowledge that. What you DO need to say is that you believe that the climate does change, that it has changed many times over the past hundred millions years or so, but there is absolutely NO evidence that humans have anything to do with it. So any taxpayer money spent by the government to affect climate change is wasted, because nothing we do will have any effect at all.
