Do you think anthropogenic climate change could ever turn Earth into Venus?

Atmosphere and climate of Venus.

Would fossil fuel corporations still deny the existence of climate change?

No exactly, but close enough to kill off the humans.

Don’t take my word for it, q.v. Stephen Hawking

Fossil Fuel corporations would stop denying climate change, because they’d be destroyed.

Most industries are slowly moving away from fossil fuels, at least here in the US. Nuke plants are starting back up, small modular reactors are being proposed and fossil power plants are being shut down left and right. Many countries are doing this and more but a few are actually going the other direction and in a big way.
We won’t be Venus until the sun does this to us in like 5–6 billion years. We may warm the planet but not to that degree, not even close. There is actually a good chance that the little CO2 experiment we have inadvertently taken may have done a little good, provided we stop in the near future. The truth is we don’t know what the long-term effects are going to be but I’m not in the doom and gloom camp, I’m in the “mixed bag” camp. Humans need a relatively stable climate to prosper but that’s not the norm for this planet or even most of human history. Time will tell but we all know that society as it stands now will not stand for too much longer, it’s just not sustainable.

Venus is actually a very cool, dark planet with an arctic climate. Those clouds block the sunlight and reflect it back into space. The Cytherean deziens are Nordic or Pleiadian types and regretably tried to ally themselves with Hitler in WW2 in order to take over Earth. There was a lot of flying saucer activity at the time over the Baltic.

The reason we measure such high temperatures on Venus is because they destroy, or attempt to destroy, Earth’s probes with their terrible heat rays.
