Of course, nearly _anything_ is possible. I've already decided this is more a political thing for you than scientific... sad really.
But let's try this once more from another angle:
Nothing has significantly increasing the levels of CO2 on Venus. The CO2 that's there has been there for a very long time - but nearly all of it's in the atmosphere.
Just like nothing's significantly increasing the levels of CO2 on Earth. Pretty much all of the CO2 that's on Earth has been here a very long time - but it's been in and under the Earth's crust. And now, us humans are shoveling it out by the megaton every year and dumping it in our atmosphere... the same spot it mostly exists on Venus.
Venus is 400 degrees warmer than it should be relative to the Sun's distance due to heat energy's reaction with the CO2 levels in Venus' atmosphere.
K, so add that 2 + 2, and put it aside a moment, and then consider this:
Sure, some of the current data seems to suggest that other planets are warming too, too... but there are a myriad other factors to work in there: Jupiter's massive internal radiation, the lack of a strong magnetic field around Mars, the lack of a thick atmosphere on one... the presence of the largest atmosphere in the Solar System in another... the list goes on...
It's the job of science to attempt to take everything into account - _all_ the data - and provide an answer that best fits the facts: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, experiments, fossil records, and the myriad of other bits of evidence left for us to examine.
Currently, the _vast_ majority (in the order of 99 out of a hundred, at least) people who base their day-to-day work in related fields - whose entire currency in their field (i.e.. credibility) is based on their adherence to scientific principals... believe that our actions impact our environment.
Can't you reason that (to use your words) "is it possible...... just maybe..... possibly... " there might be some merit to what they're saying?
And dependant on your response to that, I conclude that either you must see a reasonable point there, or you're simply arguing for the sake of arguing.
