Thanks for answering my question.

Most astronomers believe that Venus's high surface temperature can be explained by what is known as the greenhouse effect. A greenhouse lets in radiant energy from the sun, but it prevents much of the heat from escaping. The thick clouds and dense atmosphere of Venus work in much the same way. The sun's radiant energy readily filters into the planet's atmosphere. But the large droplets of sulfuric acid present in Venus's clouds -- and the great quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (my emphasis - Libertine) -- seem to trap much of the solar energy at the planet's surface.

Now, I realize that your knowledge of astronomy is on par with that of the entirety of NASA, but nevertheless, you might want to consider the possibility that your fellow astronomers may know a little something as well.
