There is a very fundamental error in Rush's calculation. Even if you had a
basic background in physics you should be able see it. Hint: With respect to
Earth v. Mars v. Venus v. Mercury what's is different about them that would
explain the respective temperatures of *all* of these planets. Another hint:
Think about Rush's use of percentages. Third Hint: What are the units of CO2
used in climate science?

Sigh. This shows why we do *peer* review.
