      Fun fact, the hottest planet in our solarsystem isn’t the one closest to the sun mercury. Sure it’s hot, but it has no atmosphere to trap that heat. Venus has an atmosphere made up of mainly carbon dioxide which does traps that heat. Guess what we’re dumping into out atmosphere at alarming rates.

        Fun fact, most of the time, Mercury is the closest planet to Earth, due to its shorter orbit.

        Clearly what we need is some crazy scheme to collect the CO2 from our atmosphere and fly it to Venus! A scheme that totally won’t just be another method of funneling money to the rich, and would definitely be cheaper than any of the many deeply investigated plans that scientists have been screaming at us for decades.
