What do you think of this method to help terraform Venus?

Ok We know the first thing we need to do is cool Venus down. Second thing is create water. To do both couldn't we theoretically retrieve a few trillion tons of H2 from Jupiter (seeing as its atmosphere is mostly H2), transport it to Venus and then release it. Then through the Bosch Reaction you could get water and graphite (my source is wiki on the B.R.) Thus cooling the planet through evaporation of the water and absorption of the CO2 which would also result in O2. What do you think?
 
What would you do with the sulfuric acid? It's going to bring down the rent on your beach front properties.
 
As the atmosphere cooled through your method the H2SO4 clouds would descend, ultimately to react with surface materials.
Another method would be to drop several million ice balls (comets or mini-asteroids) of 20-30 mile diameter into the atmosphere. This would both cool and the non-H2O components would react with the sulfuric acid, so you wouldn't get quite the toxic effects on the surface of the planet.
