claim: Trump's action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid.
evidence: This makes Venus's surface hotter than Mercury's, which has a minimum surface temperature of 53 K ( −220 °C; −364 °F ) and maximum surface temperature of 700 K ( 427 °C; 801 °F ), even though Venus is nearly twice Mercury's distance from the Sun and thus receives only 25% of Mercury's solar irradiance.
