   Oh. Just like I said. Wow. I'm so surprised.

   What is your point?   
      
   Energy doesn't just sit in the sky & shiver. Normal people who aren't   
   mentally unhinged & brainwashed Gwobull Warblers know this.

   No it doesn't. It has a significantly thicker atmosphere.   
      
   It's not magical "Co-Two!" doing anything. It's the thickness of the   
   atmosphere. This allows it to retain far more of the heat that reaches   
   it, it being closer to the sun than we are.   
      
   So it gets MORE energy from the sun and retains MORE energy from the   
   sun.   
      
   That's it. Nothing to do with your Greta Gospels idiocy.
