BTW, I've always wondered what the surface temperature of Venus would be
if its atmosphere was the same composition as Earth's.

Estimated average surface temperature - 460 - 490C
Estimated greenhouse effect - 450 - 500K

So, you're saying the surface temperature would be -10 to +10C without
Venus's super-greenhouse effect?
