OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
I agree entirely that anthropogenic global warming is NOT settled science, and that it is manipulated for a political agenda. That said, your comments about the sun are not 100% accurate.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun (average of ~36 million miles as compared to Venus at 67.2 million miles, and then Earth at ~93 million miles). That said, though Mercury’s daytime temperature can rise to >800 Fahrenheit during the day, it also drops to -279 Fahrenheit at night. This gives Mercury an average temperature of ~332 Fahrenheit - less than half of the average temperature of Venus (~864 Fahrenheit). This, despite Venus being almost twice as far from the sun. Why? Because Venus has a thick atmosphere, and Mercury doesn’t.
