I amuses me every time I read one of these threads by a global warming denialist. It amuses me because with every post they reveal just how little they understand the science behind climate change.
It amuses me every time I read a warmer thread. It shows how they take theory beyond theory and postulate it as fact.
The author of your source lists their name as "Poker."
According to real sources like the EPA, "Average global temperatures are expected to increase by 2°F to 11.5°F by 2100, depending on the level of future greenhouse gas emissions."
The Earth and Venus are about the same size, made up of mostly the same stuff and both lie in the Suns so called Goldilocks zone for a g-class star like the Sun (as does Mars). The only difference is that Earth suffered a fenderbender with a 5th terrestrial planet (often called Thea), this crash rearranged Earth, created the Moon set the Earth spinning like a billiard ball and added iron to the Earths core making it big enough to have a liquid iron shell around the core. Giving the Earth a powerful magnetic field and safely shieldiong us from nasty radiation from space and the sun and prevented the loss of its atmospheric gases like Mars or hydrogen like Venus. The amount of carbon is the same in both Venus and the Earth the problem is its almost all in gaseous form of CO2 and CO in the case of Venus. If Earth hadnt by wacked by Thea, Venus and the Earth would likely be fraternal twins both Hot and lifeless and life never would have survived here. That we are here and Earth is an abode of live is one of those flukes maybe not repeated within thousands of light years of distance. Just how rare is Earth?
Large impacts are not unique to Earth. Venus also experienced them during the Hadean eon.

Since Mars might have been Earth like in the past probably not as rare as you think.
