   Watching the transit makes your realize just how tiny our planets actually are. Venus IS only slightly smaller than Earth.(and .97 the density) The “big blue marble” isn’t that big, folks.

   I don’t know at least the Dim dems are saying that the sun might have had a part in warming and cooling of the Planet and not blaming it all on the demon CO2 and his co-hart bad man. And just today I made a note that the green house gas H2O was making the last 3 June Days very cold for this time of year by blocking the sun and raining down.

   He who wants control of an environment to within ±1.5 degrees better get himself a marine aquarium and keep tropical fish. If the air gets uncomfortable for you, hop in! We less sissy organisms will learn to adapt, like we have for the past 3.5 billion years.

   “Controlling” the environment is not possible; but mitigating self-inflicted harm is part of what “adapting” is all about. Were we wrong to act together and build levees on the Mississippi, or should we have just told the people who live along the river that they are on their own, every man to himself, and stop expecting their country to protect them?

   There’s global warming on Venus, but no sign of alien SUVs.

   The entire surface of Venus is nearly 900 degrees due to a thick atmosphere of CO2 that traps heat and moves rapidly all over the planet. Also because of thick clouds of sulfuric acid that cover the entire surface and the fact that the Venusian day is longer than the Venusian year. Probes that have landed on Venus are destroyed before too long because of the heat and pressure but none have detected remnants of an internal combustion engine or a cow.

   Ah, harley, still an idiot. The closest H2O gets to being a gas is when it’s water vapor. You should make an effort to know what you’re talking about before you stick your foot in your mouth, but I guess that’s too much to hope for.

   I guess harley’s sarcasm was just too deep for you to comprehend.

    Water Vapor

    Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas

    Cruel as it may sound, perhaps we shouldn’t have built levees and thus allowed people to understand the consequence of living in a floodplain. In other places in the country, (California, here where many rivers are not set up with levees or dams to protect local nature), if you live in a floodplain you will not be able to get flood insurance.

    On global warming and today’s strip, we are talking about Venus, a different world.

    So that explains why it’s chilly in southern Indiana today!

    or maybe this is more to your speed.

    “Clouds are made up of tiny water drops or ice crystals usually a mixture of both.”
    So maybe for a dim dem I should clarify crystal H2O and liquid H2O
