You're right, too much information. Forget about Venus. I just threw it in
there. Did you read the link I sent?

The scenario I've read about is that the melting glaciers will dilute the
salinity of key ocean areas, especially around Greenland, which will change the
underground rivers (they've only been discovered in the last 20 years or so)
that feed the oceans, thereby cooling the Gulf Stream and other major currents.
Once the ocean currents cool, especially the Gulf Stream, the moderate
temperatures experienced by Europe will begin to cool. The Gulf Stream
explains why areas that are on the same latitude have vastly different
climates. I have read that some islands in the Philippines are now under water
from rising sea levels (I posted on that). Venus is an example of a planet
with runaway greenhouse effect.
Not to mention it's about 25 million miles CLOSER to the sun. Did it ever
sustain life? Does it MATTER that it has a runawy greenhouse effect? If it
actually DOES have a greenhouse effect, was it man-made? Of not, are we screwed
in a big way anyway?
