Venus Holds Clues of Earth's Climate Future

The Venus Express orbiter has recently sent back some datasets that made researchers wonder as to whether our neighboring planet may indeed hold clues to Earth's climate future. The spacecraft found peculiar sulfur dioxide clouds lurking at high altitudes above the planet's surface.

The probe, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), relays a warning to experts promoting certain types of geoengineering here on Earth, scientists say.

These experts are currently promoting the idea that injecting sulfur droplets into the atmosphere would contribute to global cooling, by reducing the amount of heat trapped in the air, and bouncing back more sunlight into space.
