[ExI] Diminishing influence of increasing carbon dioxide on temperature

[Tomaz Kristan]

Anders!

Those winds are not nearly enough, to transfer the day heat to the night
side or to polar regions.

We have about the same high temperature everywhere on Venus all the time,

As we have about the same temperature everywhere here on Earth, but deep
down, Tanks to magma.

To transfer the Sun's heat in real time everywhere on the planet, one would
need a super-heat-conducter.

Venus "surface" is in fact deep down in the stuff. Sun has nearly nothing
to do with the temperature there, it's geothermic.
