“something fascinating about science”

“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
? Mark Twain

Was there ever life on Venus? | World Economic Forum

Those look like lava flows, not rivers drainages.

This is what river drainages look like.

It is analogous to misinterpretation of Mars Imagery 120 years ago.

    Joe Biden remembers going to Venus for a good sniff and chocolate chip ice cream.

    Well, Venus has verrrryyyy thick water.

    SCIENCE!!

      “… Venus HAD v thick water”;-}

      Catastrophic climate change caused Venutians to colonize Mars. After causing catastrophic climate change on Mars, Venutians colonized earth. They are now wrecking earth;-}

    Observing the surface of Venus has always be a pain as result of its superdense atmosphere –
    then there are super strong winds and acid rain – both with the effect to change surfaces within pretty short (geological) periods of time.

    Yet these expertmanns know how the climate was a billion years ago.

    But even if we do believe that there once was 350 ppm perfect climate
    on venus.
    Where does all the gas suddenly came from to create such a high pressure atmosphere ( which is the real reason for venus high temperatures )?

  4. Mac says:

    Okay, so what’s the panic? Venus’s atmosphere is 95% CO2, right? So, even with such a high concentration of CO2, according to the dolts at the WEF, it took almost 1 billion years for Venus to become the hot house it is today. I would infer from this, then, that we on Earth have billions of years before we become like Venus. So, calm down climate cultists. You’ve got a long time to go.

    Meanwhile, I’m going to go for a ride on my Harley, and burn some hydrocarbons. I love CO2!

    • arn says:

      Mars atmosphere is 95 % co – and Mars is supercold.

      The real BS with the Venus claim is,
      that there was no warming for the billions of years on Venus ,
      but all of a sudden something happend a billion years ago that turned the climate into hell.

      The same baseless claim that is trying to tell us that a GHG runaway effect that hasn’t happened on a planet 70% covered with liquid GHG H20 and with up to 15 x more co2 in billions of years ( = our climate is super super resistant to such a warming)
      is now going to happen because of an insignificant co2 increase.
      That’s total nonsense.

  5. Timo, not that one! says:

    I feel sad that in a mere 120 years, those poor Martians had to all die from global warming. Now, when we one day we land some men on Mars, they will find no remaining evidence of the existance of the Martians. The canals have all eroded away already.
    Too bad.
