This is a poll that discusses the old idea of altering the atmosphere of Venus. Carl Sagan proposed this in an article titled "The Planet Venus" in the 1961 edition of journal Science. Sagan suggested seeding the upper atmosphere of Venus with algae to remove CO2 (carbon dioxide) thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. His idea was based on the algae effect on the very early atmosphere of Earth, which was similar to Venus. On Earth, ancient algae plus water evaporation converted the mostly CO2 atmosphere into oxygen and hydrogen eventually allowing for more comfortable temperatures.

Given what we know of Venus today, is there any hypothetical way that Venus could be transformed into a tropic Tahiti Planet?

Request: If you're thinking "We've got enough problems here on Earth. What about global warming?" Good point, but please go to the threads that exist now because this is only about Venus, and is hypothetical and for fun. I request that Earth references be made only as they pertain to the idea of Venus atmospheric change.
