[color=#000000][color=green]The problem with people today is that they're too ignorant to focus on problems that they don't think will affect them in their own lifetime.

Let's take a look at the second planet from our Sun, Venus. Venus has no water on the planet whatsoever, and is completely covered by thick clouds. These clouds are so thick that we can't even see the surface: we've had to map the surface of the planet by using radio waves.

but these clouds aren't made up of the same stuff our own clouds are made up of, these clouds are made up of the same sort of crap that lingers over LA every day: CFCs, sulfur dioxide, and other poisonous chemicals. When it rains on Venus, it doesn't rain water: it rains sulfuric acid. And these toxic clouds generate an ENORMOUS amount of pressure. Assuming you were able to survive the descent through the high-pressure atmosphere and the sulfuric rainstorms, you would land on a parched, scorched volcanic landscape with an atmospheric pressure of 90 bars.....that's 90 times Earth's gravity, with an average temperature of about 900
