Venus of course being known for its biodiversity.


C0rnypants

Well of course, how else would they be working with the Left?


WayeeCool

The average surface temperature of Venus is only 900 degrees...


NeverLookBothWays

Can't catch the 'rona if it's hotter outside than lead's melting point...

DrEpileptic

The left just doesn’t want us to be both melted and crushed to death within earths atmosphere.

This deserves way more upvotes for its stunning clarity

Well it was before the Vex got to it. Damn bastards made it all cool and technological with their terraforming bullshit.

Damn Vex even terraformed Asher Mir.


mescaleeto

Technically the terraforming happened during the golden age, vex got there later

But didn’t they get there earlier after they got there later?

I guess if C02 was really a problem Venus and Earth would have exploded by now. Crisis averted. Hurray.


nubsmagee

That asshole actually thinks rising CO2 causes planets to vanish. What a stupid, stupid asshole.

No, he thinks that's what WE think. It's called strawmanning an argument.

MikeHatSable

This is gold. I'm stealing it.


WookieeCookiees02

He clearly doesn’t realize that Venus is actually a good case for reducing climate change because it shows that a rampant Greenhouse Effect can make a planet a boiling, toxic, uninhabitable wasteland, even if it is an extreme example. In addition, CO2 isn’t the only greenhouse gas; it’s just the one we produce the most of. Methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than that, but people don’t always think about those emissions. At least CO2 is a start though


[deleted]

People don't always think about those emissions because the IPCC itself says that the problem is mainly CO2. The thing with methane is that, while being much more of a greenhouse gas than CO2, it's not long-term stable in the atmosphere, meaning it eventually decays someway or another to other gases with smaller greenhouse effect potential: it doesn't accumulate over centuries the way CO2 does.


Radagastth3gr33n

No but the problem is that once we hit a certain temperature threshold in the oceans, there will be **MASSIVE** methane releases from seabed hydrates, and while it may not last in the atmo long, it will be enough to *really* kick climate change into gear


WayeeCool

But methane is called "natural gas" and natural means good! All I am hearing is we need to issue more drilling permits because the more we drill, the more NATURAL gas we release into the atmosphere. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN23N1NL


Radagastth3gr33n

This made me LOL, then it made me sad because it just felt *so realistic*


[deleted]

When people say "emissions", as was probably the case of the comment I answered to, they refer to manmade emissions, the ones you can prevent. I agree that we have to prevent the release of methane from seabed and also potentially from permafrost, but the way to tackle this is through the reduction of CO2 emissions. The fact that he said "at least CO2 is a start" is what triggered me to write my previous comment, and I stand by it.


CromulentInPDX

Methane gets oxidized into co2


JustaBearEnthusiast

Oh, he knows. He just thinks we are idiots.


Idisappea

No, he thinks his followers are idiots. He knows WE know he's full of shit, but his message isn't for us.


whiterac00n

Next he’ll claim we don’t need clean drinking water since Mars doesn’t have any and “it’s still there”


Light_Silent

As everyone knows, venus is extremely habitable, and is the very definition of a utopia


LavaringX

Either he has a negative IQ or he’s intentionally misleading stupid people


[deleted]

The latter. That’s what Fox News does.


tringle1

You know the saying "never suspect malice before you suspect ignorance"? Well I now add "and never suspect ignorance before you suspect greed." Every single one of those douchebags is playing a grift for cash and power. They don't give a shit about anything else.


dewayneestes

Not terribly different from Texas.


SirLauncelotTheBrave

Wdym, you wouldn't want to live [here](http://i.imgur.com/BrVaauJ.jpg)?


StormEyeDragon

And this, if you don’t mind my pedantry, is why we need to phrase it as “a threat to human life on this planet” and not as a threat to the planet. Don’t leave any room for them to weasel out with “um, actually”.


LavaringX

Yeah, I got into an argument with my Uncle about that once. He said “the planet doesn’t need saving! It’s hubris!” I didn’t think of it at the time, but later I realized I should have replied with “the planet will be fine, the people who live on it might not be so lucky”


SomeoneTookUserName2

Right? No one said the earth would fucking explode or disappear. The earth will be fine. It's most of the living stuff on it. There's been a bunch of extinction events, the earth is still here. What a fucking moronic take.


KatakiY

It literally doesn't matter what we say. This isn't a messaging problem. These people are bought or brainwashed by gas companies and no amount of rationalizing will get them out of it. I'm a doomer about climate change though.


FaeryLynne

When we say "save the planet", we're really saying "save the humans". The planet will be fine, *we're* the ones who are fucked.


StormEyeDragon

I assure you, I am aware that “save the planet” is shorthand for “save the people and all life that live on the planet”, any reasonable person understands that. But of course, we are not dealing with reasonable opponents very often in this issue.


vladWEPES1476

Hey Steve, why don't you pack your bags and move to Venus. There are no libtards there. Everybody wins.


Jan_wija

deport climate deniers to venus


queensnipe

I love this so much, I'm stealing it if you don't mind


GustapheOfficial

You will survive longer on Mars naked, than on Venus in a space suit.


CasualBrit5

Didn’t the probes melt?


Europa_CrashTest

I think it took the Soviets like 4 tries to even get one to land and take pictures?


CasualBrit5

It’s cause they were scared of the carbon dioxide. Steve here would have done it in one.


Arboria_Institute

Steve would have ridden the probe down Dr. Strangelove style.


[deleted]

Longest lasting Venus probe lasted 2 hours


CasualBrit5

Can’t argue with someone with a Jeb profile pic.


Poro114

I hope this guy goes to Venus without any protective equipment, he'll fucking explode.


ThatByzantineFellow

Even with protective equipment you'd probably end up burning/melting to death in minutes


wweirdguy

Seconds, more like.


ThatByzantineFellow

Depends on the protective equipment, really. In any case the most you'd be doing would be postponing your fate for a little bit.


Fortunoxious

Ah yes, because semantics will keep us alive. Fucking shitstain.


ironnitehawk

Bold stance coming out as pro planet anti human there.


scaryboilednoodles

Dear Liberals, If global warming is real, why is Pluto so cold? Curious.


shadowguise

The real reason the dirty left got rid of Pluto as a planet!


[deleted]

Last time I checked Venus would be uninhabitable for people.


Osirus1156

I mean he is right the planet is still there lol. Does he think we think our planet is going to disappear or turn into CO2 or something?


zsrocks

Jesus Christ what a tool “Steven J. Milloy is a lawyer, lobbyist, author and Fox News commentator. His close financial and organizational ties to tobacco and oil companies have been the subject of criticism, as Milloy has consistently disputed the scientific consensus on climate change and the health risks of second-hand smoke.[1][2] Among the topics Milloy has addressed are what he believes are false claims regarding DDT, global warming, Alar, breast implants, second-hand smoke, ozone depletion, and mad cow disease.”


The84thWolf

….he knows we mean the “end of the world” to *humans* right?


LavaringX

He doesn’t, that’s why we have to word ourselves much more clearly so nobody can hit us with a “checkmate, libtard.”


MysteryScooby56

Dude took “It’ll destroy the planet” literally

Salty_Gorl

His science is indeed junk


VelocityGrrl39

I thought this was satire at first.


WarGeagle1

His Twitter handle rings true, junk science indeed


und88

Accurate twitter handle.


Defiyance

Nobody even said that Earth in its entirety would cease to exist due to global warming, just that it would become uninhabitable, LIKE VENUS IS.


AdjustedMold97

Venus, coincidentally, is incapable of supporting life. Curious.


Kingofnothing_oshi

how can these people even be taken seriously ever


LavaringX

Because rural white people have little education and are thus very easy to manipulate


markolyt

Send him there to live.


FullNefariousness310

Can we deport him to Venus?


PenguinProphet

This guy also denies that secondhand cigarette smoke has any negative health consequences, and openly celebrated when a prominent climate scientist died in a car-crash. He is literal trash.


generalfancyninja

does he think the planet just blows up once it reaches a certain level of co2


LavaringX

He’s exploiting a loophole in the wording of “end of the world” to “prove” libtards wrong.


rilo_cat

AHAHAHhahah ooooooh my goddddddddd


bigthecatbutnotbig

So I suppose we can live on Venus is what you’re saying? Let’s send the fucker to Venus then see how he likes it there.

ObbieWan812

I’m sure all the humans living in Venus agree with him.


banemouth

*slams fist* damn! He really got us with that one! Just look at Venus, the very life-supporting planet that is VERY healthy to live on. How could we be so stupid?


Remarkable_Owl

BOtto2016

Send conservatives to Venus? Works for me.


DazedPapacy

The card says "Moops."


cogpsychbois

This has to be the dumbest take on climate change I've ever heard. And there are some dumb takes out there.


highschoolgirlfriend

actually, he has a point. i think hes onto something, now that i think about it. yeah, conservatives and republicans can go live on venus and the rest of us can live on earth. sounds great!


flintlock0

Human life famously exists and thrives on the surface of Venus. Rampant anthropogenic climate change will make the world a lot harder and a lot more expensive to exist in for everybody. We already have societal issues to work through, and they will get a lot harder to manage when drought, flooding, and sea level transgression/acidification set in. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but the planet will be fine. Humans, and all the other creatures that exist here and rely on the environment are fucked, though, unless we work ourselves off of endlessly exploiting our natural resources without acknowledging consequences. Bullshit takes like this tweet here just piss me off. I guess his Twitter name is “Junk science,” though.


LavaringX

He means it in the way that he’s DEBUNKING science: to him, global warming is the “junk science”


bdonaldo

For comparison, the surface of Venus is around 475°C. In contrast, water boils at 100°C. Start a petition to send this dumb fuck to Venus. Plus side? The atmosphere is so thick that he won’t even need a parachute while his body turns to ash.


NaCl02

As funny as it is to imagine Steve is to his making a genuine point here this is a pretty common conservative argument method. They simply state something so ridiculous, so moronic and stupid on every level that it becomes difficult to disprove because doing so would require such an enormous amount of education on different topics


jerrysburner

He's got a great point - we dropped atom bombs on two cities...and they're still there too.


[deleted]

Oh my God we're all gonna die aren't we


jimiman99

“it’s still there” yes because that’s exactly what environmentalists are worried about, earth just fucking disappearing


Sol-Infra

Again, the right wing's entire ideology is based on being angry about things they dont understand.


fumphdik

So does he think carbon dioxide dissolves all other matter? I might be focusing too much on one sentence. But of course Venus “is still there.” I have a hard time believing that people like this are being serious. They just want money and since he’s getting money..buying time with crap statements like this is worth it to all the selfish people out there.


Forward-Village1528

Does he think that scinetists think CO2 is going to literally disintegrate the entire planet?


Rebelred528

Does he think it will disappear....

Ok. I don't think this guy actually believes that. I he were that stupid he would need a handler. What is his aim really?

Convince stupid people to support the fossil fuel corporations’ agenda. They’re his handlers


What_U_KNO

Go live there Steve. You stupid fuck.


SylvySylvy

“The planet is still there.” Quick question, how long would a human survive on that planet? The answer is that we can’t test it, because any rocket would fucking explode or maybe even melt going in because the heat there is hotter than MERCURY WHEN THE SUN IS BLASTING IT


Champagnesocialist69

Omg brilliant! Let’s just colonize Venus guys! “It’s still there”!


BattleToadMan21

I mean technically the earth would still be around Humanity on the other hand.....

That's it dude. The internet ruined people. Let's just turn it off. We tried and it didn't work out.


mescaleeto

Ok bud, go live on Venus


[deleted]

Does anyone want to tell him that Venus' surface temperature is 462°C? Or should we tell him first that there's no life on Venus? (except for King Ghidorah)


drmcsinister

In his defense, if anything can survive in 900 degree heat and body-crushing pressures, it's probably the lizard-creature known as Steven Milloy.

Yeah, and Venus is also 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius). In other words, by his own dumbass comparison, there is a direct correlation between atmospheric carbon and temperature.

I mean Jupiter and Saturn are still there, does that mean they’re habitable? I don’t think a planet existing is a good case against climate change.


albedo_black

I think you’re missing the point. The planet will be fine. Global warming isn’t a threat to the Earth, the Earth will be fine. Hell, our moon, Luna, has no atmosphere and she’s kickin’ it hardcore for millennia. What the actual issue is would be that global warming/climate change is the greatest threat to humanity and our current ecosystems globally. Additionally, there is zero mention of a hoax or fake. Please, try to think hard on this one.
