O.k. so now we are focused on the basis of my question. If Hensen's model suggested that the heat retention properties of CO2 causes warming and has made Venus the hottest planet in our solar system, how could his model be used to support an Ice Age theory? A correct scientific model or formula should produce the same results no matter who uses it. That is how science really works.

If you made a computer program, and it was used to develop a nasty internet virus which killed my harddrive, should I simply assume you did it?

If I develop a formula for calculating the force of gravity. A rocket scientist should be able to use it to determine how much thrust is need to send a rocket into orbit. If the rocket fails to reach orbit, it is possible that the rocket scientist is wrong in some of his work and it is possible that my formula is wrong. Isn't it appropriate to revisit the issue and look at all the components that went into the failure?
