I believe that is the most probable outcome as well. There's no IPCC projections showing that to lead to Venus warming though. All scientific opinions on what the ideal temperature would be are specific to their area of expertise. For instance, an entomologist will have a different answer for the ideal global temperature based on what they know of malaria-carrying mosquito habitats. That opinion ignores a holistic view.

I'm always asking, and never getting an answer to my question;

Considering that humanity has flourished tremendously due to continual warming from the depths of the current ice age, at what point in time is the ideal warmth level for human flourishing?

So far, every measure of human flourishing suggests we haven't surpassed the ideal warmth level yet.
