This really jumped out at me... the sulfur in the atmosphere is one of the causes of Venus' powerful greenhouse effect.
a sharp decrease of sulfur-containing gases in its atmosphere
Wikipedia source.
The large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere together with water vapor and sulfur dioxide create a strong greenhouse effect, trapping solar energy and raising the surface temperature to around 740 K (467°C), hotter than any other planet in the solar system, even that of Mercury despite being located further out from the Sun and receiving only 25% of the solar energy Mercury does.

Back to my question, should we be worried?

I never said that there aren't changes. I said that there aren't immediate changes. As in one second you are a plumber and the next you are an astral super ET. Sure changes happen. But even they take some time.

And you think "raining down" means like raindrops...
No! I'm gonna tell you again. Raining down in a galactic scale doesn't mean within a few years. It means within million of years.
No one in his right mind would think of raining in the literal sense!! It means that the effects are being seen in the Solar System for the last several decades with increasing intensity. There's going to be no 'bang' for your buck! But the effects are being felt. And then this doesn't mean that stars would be 'raining down'. It's the dust and other cosmic material that we're passing through like the Leonid meteor shower, but this one is cosmic 'dust' of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy!
