Most of those lovely clouds you see on Venus are gaseous sulphuric acid. The surface is so hot that it just barely glows red.
Using Venus as a model for Global Warming is like comparing a VW to a banana.

CO2 is heavier than air and tends to crawl over the ground - in polar regions it would be even heavier and more concentrated on the surface - you need a pretty big swag factor to translate those figures to general atmospheric.

I think that's where the funny business comes in.
