   You stated the following to me in the past:   
      
   "CO2 isn't a 'Greenhouse Gas.'"   
      
   As I have explained to you, Venus has less water vapor than does Earth,   
   and as most solar radiation does not reach its surface, Venus has only a   
   slightly higher solar surface constant than does our World.   
      
   And, so, why is it so hot there??  Is such due to all of the CO2 gas   
   that is in Venus' atmosphere???  If not, what gas in Venus' atmosphere   
   is responsible for retaining all of its heat, especially, during its 59   
   Earth days of continuous nighttime?!
