Venus

[[A teacher holding a pointer stands in front of a backdrop of a lush, coastal field filled with flower and greenhouses.]] Teacher: Venus was once temperate. It had seas and rivers, and Venusians cultivated vast fields of beautiful flowers. [[The backdrop is now a shot of an earth-like Venus seen from space, with greenhouses flying rapidly away from it.]] Teacher: Until their greenhouses fled the planet due to the runaway greenhouse effect. [[A little girl is seen sitting at a desk, listening to the teacher speak.]] Teacher: The Venusians pursued their greenhouses to Earth, settling in the Netherlands and kickstarting the Dutch floral industry. Any questions? [[A close-up on the teacher's profile, the student is out of panel.]] Student: Because you're retiring in a month, do you just not care what you say anymore? Teacher: WHAT?! I RIDE THE SKIES atop a screaming bird of truth! Also, yes, I do not. {{Title text: The sudden introduction of Venusian flowers led to an explosive growth of unusual Earth pollinators, which became known as the "butterfly effect."}}
