Venus' surface temperature cannot be due to heat of formation, a recent astronomical collision, or simply an extra-hot planetary core. That leaves the atmosphere. Today we look at why many of the "it's hot because the pressure is high" arguments are wrong and conclude that Venus' hot surface temperature must therefore be due to the greenhouse effect resulting from a 97% CO2 atmosphere.
