Do you accept the basic science, though, that says greenhouse gases keep a planet warm. It explains why Venus is a lot hotter than Mercury, even though it is much further from the Sun.

Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System because of the shroud of thick atmosphere that surrounds it. And, importantly, it is primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas – a term given to gases in an atmosphere that raise the temperature of their planet.
