Global Warming 'innit?

[DimPrawn]

Go and visit Mars, Venus and our moon and let us know what you find out.

Mars was destroyed by global warming yet no space probe has ever found trace of a 4x4.....curious.....

Go on, save me the trip. What did you find out when you went??

Have those ice caps stopped melting on Mars yet??

That your model of a planet as a rock near a 100W bulb is so woefully inaccurate as to be useless. Venus is hotter than Mercury but is twice as far from the sun

Well, mercury has no atmosphere to speak of, and venus has a massively-dense CO2 atmosphere. They call it a 'runaway greenhouse effect'.

I refer you to Page 64 of 'The Boy's Book of Space' - 1963 edition.

Do they still get snow in winter, or is that a thing of the past?

What do the models say or do we need another £billion for a new supercomputer and 1st class trips to the Maldives for a Climate Summit before we can be sure the science is settled?

The entire point is the atmosphere is what protects us against fluctuations by the sun in the first place. So kind of the opposite to your suggestion it's all the sun's fault.

Hmm, I wonder if anyone ever calculated how long we could manage if the sun went out, before it got too cold. (The Black Cloud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia doesn't count ). Would it be days, weeks or months.

So you really are still touting a single decade-old tulip newspaper article? By a human rights journalist no less. In preference to thousands of actual studies? Is that really all you have?

Nope, It protects us from harmful radiation, but does not have enough 'inertia' to protect us from long-term changes in solar output. It just responds to them.

The atmosphere would be too cold for mammals in just a few days, and would freeze to a liquid in a week or two. The fish might last a bit longer because the oceans have 'thermal inertia' and would freeze from the top down over maybe months.
