Stockman emerged in a state of shock. "I feel like I've been run over by a freight train," he said. "I think the President laid the wood to him pretty damned good," observed a presidential adviser. Reagan had a further idea: "I think the press and public should see and hear David's explanation, just...
...disillusionment with special interests, not the ominous "big business" the Crimson writer imagines.

Still, as dissimilar as Venus is from earth, scientists see its history as a cautionary tale. They warn that if carbon dioxide continues to build up in the earth's atmosphere as rapidly as it has in the past few decades from burning wood and fossil fuels, the atmosphere will become increasingly like that of Venus. Sunlight will still beat down through the atmosphere, but the CO2 will block heat from radiating back into space, raising global temperatures, melting polar ice and flooding coastal cities...
