Global Warming is a good thing...

And?

The only habitation of other planet(s) in our solar system would be in biodomes. Nobody wants to live underground on Earth, let alone on a planet which doesn't have much more than the sun in common with home.

The atmosphere of Venus is NOTHING like Earth.
The temperature and pressure is NOTHING like Earth.
The air is NOWHERE NEAR breathable.

Why did you post the Wikedia link and "WTF" smileys?

 

[The Borg Queen]

Because what you wrote about Venus being like Earth was completely and totally wrong.

I avoid wikipedia as info on there is flawed. This is where I read about the Venus stuff from.

Ah, I see. You should have mentioned about the whole "50km above the surface" thing.

Although the surface of Venus is an extremely hostile environment, at about 50 kilometers above the surface the atmosphere of Venus is the most earthlike environment (other than Earth itself) in the solar system. It is proposed here that in the near term, human exploration of Venus could take place from aerostat vehicles in the atmosphere, and that in the long term, permanent settlements could be made in the form of cities designed to float at about fifty kilometer altitude in the atmosphere of Venus.

That link you posted has some pretty in-depth information, which is always A Good Thing.
