You do know that any scientist worth their salt agrees that global warming is occurring right? The only debate is on mans effect on it.
Oh and remember those ice ages that happened all across the world? the ice retreated, and that requires heat, our planet has already heat up and cooled down over and over so that's your idea shot down in flames.

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;24721946]~8 billion years :science:[/QUOTE]
You're both wrong.
About 5 billion until the sun finally dies, but it'll gradually get a warmer and hotter between now and then rendering Earth uninhabitable in some billion or so years.

Who cares, we probably won't even be here in a million years, let alone a billion.
The way shit is done we'll probably be out in the next two to three hundred years.

I'll never go to mars as long as UAC is running the show. Can't trust Union Aerospace Corporation.[/QUOTE]
I get it!
[QUOTE=JeffAndersen;24721795]We have wayyy more to worry about then the planet getting a bit hotter. A lot more.[/QUOTE]
Probably how many people stupid as you are being born. :downs:
[QUOTE=Gordy H.;24725714]There are alot of reasons we want to change the atmosphere:
1. It will give us experience and technology to do it to other planets we come across.
2. We want to avoid over population on Earth.
3. Having two planets will help us DRASTICALLY as we plan future colonizations. Developing new Communication, shipping and Police methods will be essential.[/QUOTE]
Well we can meet the needs of the people on earth with the materials on mars, the core of mars is made of 83% Iron and 17% Sulfur, and most of the outer surface is basalt, also there is no need to change the atmosphere we can simply settle there with equipment to survive because:
1.It will take less time to colonize mars because we have the technology or nearly have the technology to live on its surface without making it entirely habitable which could take centuries to develop if we go down that path.
2.We can use the excess population (Preferably the poorest due to them being used to mostly blue collar labor) as miners which could solve the population problems and have an efficient work force in the field required on mars which would reduce the overpopulation problem on earth.
3.We don't need an entirely habitable planet to set it up as a crossroad of communications and supplies between Earth and other potential colonies.
Therefore there is no need to change the entire atmosphere on mars just to put a handful of humans there in specialized housing facilities, also we can still work on making it habitable entirely without such equipment but at least we could make progress to settling humans on other planets.
this news is AMAZING!

i always thought this was the case.
*tinfoil on*
i also think life originated on mars, but an asteroid smashed into it and knocked some earth's way, with some resilient bactera hitching a ride.
*off*
not really, it would be an awesome truth though.

Why does that make more sense then most theories I've ever heard?
Well, this opens up possibilities of the planet having once had more sophisticated lifeforms. Unless the whole planet's on some weird wet-dry cycle that lasts several hundred millions of years.
But hey, we can't rule it out yet since we haven't done any archaeological digs on the Red Planet just yet. For all we know there could be the wreckage of a dozen or so tripods buried beneath the sands of Mars. (The Sands of Mars sounds like some kinda 1920's adventure serial starring John Carter)

Seems a bit coincidental the the planet would just so happen to decide to go on an immense climate change routine right in the 100 years of humanity's heavily polluting industrial revolution.
