   There will probably be a flurry of debate if one mentions that The surface temp of Venus is caused by runaway GHE.

     But alas, Venus is not hot because of a “runaway greenhouse” … this is absurd and impossible.

   Has anyone told the IPCC?

   “Some thresholds that all would consider dangerous have no support in the literature as having a non-negligible chance of occurring. For instance, a “runaway greenhouse effect” —analogous to Venus–appears to have virtually no chance of being induced by anthropogenic activities…..”
   [IPCC]

   “There is no possibility of such runaway greenhouse conditions occurring on the Earth.”
   [Sir John Houghton – IPCC author & atmospheric scientist]

   Well, quoting from the article, “The research suggests that from a standpoint of Earth’s climate, it would likely take another 1.5 billion years, even accounting for the pace at which human activities are pumping greenhouse gases into the air, for a runaway greenhouse effect to take over…” According to the precautionary principle, it’s worth bankrupting ourselves now to protect our great-great-[50 million more]-grandchildren.
