Climate change sceince points to Venus as a example. Why do they ignore the facts it's

Because that gets into details and the details don't support global warming theory. Yes, CO2 traps heat, we can all conduct the simple experiment of trapping CO2 and observing temperature rising. But the concentration of CO2 is significant, and we can't possibly put enough CO2 in the atmosphere today, or even with the next decade, to make a measurable difference on global temperatures.
 
closer to the sun & has? a much, much higher concentration of CO2 that we could EVER have.

"Venus is closer to the sun than any other planet except Mercury. Its mean (average) distance from the sun is about 67.2 million miles (108.2 million kilometers), compared with about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) for the Earth and about 36 million miles (57.9 million kilometers)"

"The atmosphere of Venus is heavier than that of any other planet. It consists primarily of carbon dioxide, with small amounts of nitrogen and water vapor. The planet's atmosphere also contains minute traces of argon, carbon monoxide, neon, and sulfur dioxide. The atmospheric pressure (pressure exerted by the weight of the gases) on Venus is estimated at 1,323 pounds per square inch (9,122 kilopascals). This is about 90 times greater than the atmospheric pressure on the Earth, which is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (101 kilopascals).
