Instrument on Venus Express allowed the scientist to notice that the main ions escaping Venus’s atmosphere are oxygen, helium and hydrogen. Moreover, hydrogen and oxygen ions were shown to be escaping in the same proportions as they are found in water,

"Our new data make it possible to construct a scenario in which Venus started out like the Earth, possibly including a habitable environment, billions of years ago,
Heck they can "construct a scenario" with no data at all and that's pretty much what they did. Hydrogen and oxygen ions = vast oceans; what a load of bullshit.


But who could argue with scientists of this caliber?

Yeah they're reliable sources.
