It's why the temperature is over 750 degrees F. Iron melts on the surface of Venus.

Ask them what compound is responsible for this effect.

And they'll say CO2.

Google "Venus"... Google "Runaway Greenhouse Effect".... or better yet, go to a library... and read.

I'm not sure what the rest of your post was supposed to mean - seems you're just talking about the laws relating to homeostasis... which I fully agree with, and, imho, does more to support the idea that we're affecting our environment than the idea that we're not.
homeostasis is the concept of a closed systems ability to regulate itself, and that is what earth is doing now, have done for millions of years and will do so for many more. So its not supporting the idea that we're affecting our environment.

Its still not a Runaway Greenhouse Effect here on earth. What goes on Venus have nothing to do with Greenhouse Effect, its the fact that the planet have a higher concentration of CO2. The fundamental structure of earth is different and can not under any circumstances be compared

The only "runaway" thing going on here is the fearmongering
