We could also melt all the snow if we moved the earth to the convection zone of the sun, and do so much more quickly than moving it to the orbit of Venus.

What's that got to do with CO2?

The data is pointless because it has no context and is given in the usual unreadable footnote style.

Why not relate the various bullet points so people can follow some train of logic? The only reason I can figure not to do that is if there is no train of logic to follow.

That was provided in the 'Albedo-flip' thread.
