If I’m not mistaken, Venus’ atmosphere has a higher albedo than Earth’s, meaning that more light is reflected from Venus, bouncing into space rather than heating the planet.

Yet, even with that, the CO2 level ensures that the temperature is very high.

Yep, exactly. The CO2 atmosphere causes a runaway greenhouse effect on Venus.

The deniers who even deny that CO2 is a warming forcer are incredibly ignorant.
