That may be the point of this.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Venus is essential Earth if we gave complete control over everything to oil companies. "Do what you want, as long as you want". Many, many years later, after ever drop of oil is burned, and every carbon Earth has is released into the atmosphere, you get Venus.

Don't you want to see how bad things can get? Fear can be a good thing.

While we could certainly get to a point where the earth becomes uninhabitable for a majority of species, a Venusian climate is a little out of reach as Venus receives a lot more solar radiation from its proximity to the sun.

We also cant really survive long term at 5,000 ppm of CO2, so our autonomous planet killing robots would have to work extra hard to reach Venus' 965,000 ppm of CO2.
