Even if its a geological process that's a stunning discovery that changes a lot of planetary science and even basic chemistry. Unfortunately I don't think the public will be satisfied with anything less than aliens.

I'll never be satisfied until they launch a probe to Uranus and find life on tha twin moons of Deeznuts

i'll be excited when it's vespene gas :zerg:

but seriously, i expect to be disappointed (probably from a mass grave for casualties of the climate war) when we finally learn in 50 years that the phosphine on venus is just from volcanic plumes. venus has more volcanoes on its surface than the other planet in our system and it's likely still pretty active, and we know phosphine can be produced in volcanic events. wouldn't be surprised if more is being produced that way than we expect from models based on earth's volcanoes, but i'd love to gently caress an alien so i hope i'm wrong :shrug:

Anyway I think this venus thing is cool, but I don't like how journalist and lazy academics feel like they need to talk down to the general population when they're clearly as dumb as everyone else on this planet.

Academics are smarter than us

Journalists are dumber
