“It might be easier than you think.” It was in fact a lot harder than I had originally thought.

[@sibanbgd100]

@J Silva Yes, using a totally new technology that let's us control matter at a fundemental level would be better... Video ends there, good luck inventing and getting Nobel prizes.

[@iapetus6110]

@J Silva i mean , your excistence is also crap too

[@WhiteWolfos]

@J Silva yes something like multiple fission bombs that cool the planet quickly and secondary waves that eats CO2 and converts to oxygen such as modyfied stubborn algae. The solar blocking part is also a doable idea since not much material is needed and can help control temperatures. That can probably cut time by several centuries.

[@dabo7791]

LoL

[@dylanmurray5669]

@@WhiteWolfos The nuclear bombs are analogous the the mirror, they just block sunlight. They wouldn't work as well on Venus because the atmosphere is already incredibly dense, and not much of the debris from the explosion would be able to block sunlight. Earth would only cool from a nuclear weapon because of what it was able to destroy, whether that be a city, or forest, or caused fires that continued to burn down more things, it is really only the massive amounts of smoke and gas from that which causes the earth to cool because it blocks sunlight. The mirror is the most effective way of doing this. I think an actual plausible idea they may have not realized was that you can begin terraforming with bacteria pretty early on, in the upper atmosphere of Venus. This could mean making huge balloons that carry large amounts of water filled with cyanobacteria to begin removing CO2 even before the planet has cooled on the surface. You could also just introduce a GMO cyanobacteria to the clouds of Venus themselves. I'm not a chemist or a biologist, so I cant really say this would be entirely possible as they may be issues with reproduction of the bacteria, or the acidic environment in the clouds may just be too great even for a heavily modified cyanobacteria.

[@mehere8038]

​@@dubbyy_ amounts of nitrogen on earth & venus are the same, there's no reason to remove any from Venus Amounts of carbon and oxygen on earth & venus are the same, the difference is just that they're in gaseous form on venus. Removing anything screws the whole planet up! It was once earth like, to make it earth like again, we just need to add back the hydrogen that is light & has drifted off into space & then put the CO2 back into it's solid C & H2O forms & leave some of the oxygen free in the air. Or to put it another way, if we build cloud cities there now with our current tech & retain all waste from all plants/crops we grow as charcoal or carbon fibre, then pretty soon the terraforming will begin happening anyway & the cloud cities that naturally float at the habitable altitude of earth like pressure & temperature, will slowly begin to float lower & lower until they touchdown on the surface & with the addition of hydrogen from a gas giant, we can make oceans with the excess oxygen. Not that we would want to terraform anyway, since the planet takes 8 months to complete a single day cycle, so 4 months of dark, whereas in the clouds the winds act as artificial rotation giving a 4 earth day cycle & unlimited solar & wind power, with an always on industrial high pressure furnace below that we can lower things into to cheaply & easily create carbon fibre, diamonds etc etc without needing any fossil fuels to do it This video's just ridiculous with it's removing CO2 in it's heaviest form before importing H2O in it's heaviest form & then ignoring that once the carbon's gone the forests aren't even possible, while it both exported & imported oxygen for no reason!

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

The Sun won't suddenly just become a red giant, it would gradually expand, making Venus unterraformable(i think i just made a new word) much earlier than The sun becoming a red giant. But still Venus becoming completely hopeless would also happen after a really long time, giving humans enough time to maybe move Venus and Earth away. If humans ever settle on Venus, I can see it happening like a 70,000 years earlier than Venus' complete inhabitability so after settling they would realise the problem at hand and would frantically try to move Venus away. Earth would also need to move by then due to gradual increase in temperature and maybe they would first move Venus as kind of a test project to see whether it is even possible and then move Earth as a bigger project.
