By continuing to pump CO2 into the atmosphere, and methane from cow emissions, eventually a point of no return will be reached, where the Earth's retention of solar radiation will overwhelm its ability to dispel heat, and a Venus-like runaway greenhouse inferno will materialize

Point worth making. It's logrithmic with changes in concentration.
If you're going to go all engineer nerd on folks, why not explain the relationship a little? Folks might learn something.
