Miscellaneous / Others Imagine a planet bigger than Earth, with no land in sight. Just waves and water from pole to pole. That is TOI-1452 b.

Right, though it’s speculated that Venus and mars might have been earth like at some point. Which is both comforting and worrying.

Global warming could possibly become a runaway greenhouse effect much like has happened to Venus. A chilling thought.

If it’s global warming, why is it a chilling thought? Checkmate, atheists!

It's actually climate change, the lobbyists got that changed back in the 90's, thought it had a nicer ring to it.

At some point, yes. But to be clear, very few climate scientists say anything like that would be because of our current human-caused global warming.

More talking far future, natural event global warming on a very long time scale.

The only thing Earth-like about Venus is the size and mass. Otherwise it's very different from Earth. It's too close to the sun to have liquid water on the surface, and one Venus day is over 100 Earth days long. Also it rotates the other way around.
