Its my understanding that Hansen’s climate change theories are based on his work that height Carbon Dioxide levels on Venus are the sole reason that Venus is so hot (not with standing that hot women are cool) and that he translated that into the situation here on earth. Its also my understanding that the upper atmosphere where this “heat” was supposed to appear isn’t getting hot; so that would seem to me to dis create the whole concept?
Climate scientists blame the high temperatures on Venus on the greenhouse effect.
Given that Venus surface receives very little sunlight, and that nights there are months long with no drop in temperature, it is absurd to compare the Venusian climate to a greenhouse.
Venus has a similar lapse rate to Earth, despite a very different atmospheric composition. This shows that the lapse rate is due to the pressure gradient, not the atmospheric composition.
