Nuke the planet Venus.

Created by J.A. on February 17, 2015

The planet Venus has long become uninhabitable due to high temperatures caused by a runaway greenhouse effect. I believe Venus can still be saved. We need to drop a few nuclear warheads on Venus to create a nuclear winter and lower the temperature. We should also redirect some ice comets or perhaps the "planet" Pluto to collide with Venus to provide a new water source. This would also truly allow Pluto to be a planet again. Then while the temperature is cool enough we need to start farming massive amounts of hemp and marijuana to quickly convert CO2 into Oxygen and reverse the greenhouse issue on Venus. We must of course legalize the use of marijuana on Venus so the astronauts don't get too bored over there. Also after combining Pluto and Venus it should be renamed "Penus".
