The inverse-square law for energy propagation offers no explanation for Venus' warmth based upon solar insolation,when viewed with its closer solar proximity.
A fun comparison is between Earth and Moon.
Our water vapor and other GHGs keep us at,what used to be not too long ago, an average 58-degrees F,instead of hundreds of degrees below,or above zero,depending on time of day.All with PPM and PPB gas concentrations.
At 1.5-degrees F added since 1870,and another immediate 1.5-degrees F within a year of shutting down coal-fired power plants,after the sulfate aerosols precipitate out,it should be an interesting ride.
But wait!,there's more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
