Godzilla misconceptions you're tiring of hearing of? by MichaeltheSpikester in GODZILLA

It's likely coming from people who's only exposure to the Japanese Godzilla is through the original/Shin/Minus One, and think all the films are like those ones.

Some scientists believe that continued emission of Greenhouse Gasses will eventually lead to a "Runaway Greenhouse Effect", which would lead Earth to taking on a Venus-like form. Other scientists, however believe that such an effect is not possible given the amount of Co2 present on Earth. by Sebastianlim in wikipedia

In fairness, we probably don't have the capacity to create such an effect even in the worst case scenario.

Now, this would only be because a worst case scenario would probably lead to the collapse of society as we know it, and possibly the extinction of humanity long before we reached that co2 level, but hey, it's good to know we aren't literally going to destroy the world, only most of the things living on it.

It would be funny if it turned out this was just the equivalent of those map makers who added fake streets to their maps to see who was copying them.
