That's a joke, right? You really are not that stupid, right?

A massive atmosphere of, say, N2, would not make a planet hot.

.... nor would trace amounts of CO2. After all, we are talking about
0.04% concentration -- NOT massive percentages, like Venus.

...... and Mars ahs a very high percentage of CO2.

But you just said it was the mass of the atmosphere, now you say it's the %
of CO2. Do you change all your ideas this easily?

There are many on-lines sources that will explain why Mars is cold and Venus
is hot. I suggest you read them.

I didn't change ideas. It IS the atmospheric mass, combined with
distribution of water vapor and ocean currents, that controls climate --
NOT trace amounts of CO2.

Of course -- Even though Mars' atmosphere has a high percentage of CO2,
it is cold; Venus' atmosphere is hot.

Doesn't the fact of Mars' high CO2 content shed questions regarding CO2
playing a major factor in warming?
