Inseminating Venus with Thermoacidophiles

Science proposes that as time progresses the sun cools. Therefore
at some point the surface of Venus has/will become similar to that
of early Earth with respect toward temperature and UV intensity.
I hypothesize that if, within the time-frame of similarity, the
surface of Venus were to be inseminated with a variety of archea-
bacteria, especially thermoacidophiles, that eventually an
atmosphere would form, leading to conditions inhabitable by
some aerobic life. Perhaps the process could be catalyzed.
I am not a nut. Simply a person with a somewhat overactive
curiousity, who would enjoy reading feedback on this hypothesis.
