Two of those definitions involve nothing related to life-inhabited planets. This isn't my definition, this is what they are actually called. Terrestrial planets as opposed to the Jovian planets. I learned this in like 5th grade. I don't expect everyone to remember that shit, but if you're going to be so goddamn confident as to throw a facepalm in with it while telling they don't exist when a quick google search will show you that we have 4 terrestrial planets in our solar system, then i don't trust your ability as a rational thinker or one who is educated enough in science to debate something like global warming. You just followed the path of most pubbers who are more interested in graemlins and blowing up their ego than actual intellectual discussion to the point where you didn't even have time to fact check some basic definitions before trying to throw it back in my face. If it was a polite and honest mistake, then whatever. But your stubbornness and confidence clearly clouds your reason.
Now i'm not perfect myself, but i spent some time making sure what i said was at least decently accurate, even the stuff i was already confident in. If you're going to make a debate at least be a little bit thorough because otherwise i can't trust your ability to know shit about CO2 concetrations and the difference between 350ppm and 400ppm. I mean, what the hell do you actually know about microconcentrations of carbon dioxide and their effect on the atmosphere? Are you a marine biologist? Or an analytical chemist? Or did the number just sound small so you ran with it?
My definition of terrestrial is "eartlike". Neither Mars nor Venus nor Mercury is earthlike. You wanna get over that? Because I'm ready to.
I have had a fairly extensive education in the sciences, including geography and oceanography at the university level. That after chem 101 and 102. I know that the dose determines the toxicity. I also know that there is not one thing unusual about the climate trends and have posted links that prove it. Further, there has been no warming for a decade and a half while emissions of CO2 continue to rise. None of the alarmist's predictions have come to pass and no matter how much we should decide to chop our dicks off India, China, Africa, which have by far the greatest number of people, aren't going to do anything to stop their fossil fuel use. The only thing we could possibly achieve through fossil austerity is to fuck our economy. Absolutely zero effect on the climate

So now that everything is back to normal in North America, and Australia is having record breaking heat, is global warming back on?
Also, this:

I don't know a shitload about global warming, but the comparison of Earth's temperature to that of Mars is silly. They are two different planets with very different atmospheres. The temperature on Mars varies wildly in a single day.
