Simulations suggest Venus may have once been able to support life

A team of researchers with NASA, Uppsala University, Columbia University and the Planetary Science Institute has created several simulations
of conditions on Venus billions of years ago using Earth climate models and has found some instances that suggest the planet may at one time
have been capable of harboring life. In their paper uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, the team describes their simulations and the factors
they used in creating them.
