@welkin7@mstdn.party That is indeed what the authors suggest.
Venus is closer to the Sun and hotter, so there stable climate lasted perhaps for a billion years before runaway greenhouse effect took over. So its water inventory could even have been as high as on Earth, initially.

@mustapipa@scicomm.xyz #Venus had volcanism so it can be assumed to have plate tectonics too. Does this mean that if we decrease amount of sunlight reaching #Venus by say 20%, we can carry out Geoengineering to make it habitable once again? We will off course need bacteria and other microorganisms that thrive in heavy CO2 atmosphere.
