NASA Proposes Warming Mars
hotsauce writes "The Guardian reports a NASA scientist has proposed releasing a gas on Mars to start a global warming of the planet in order to make it more hospitable for life. No word on how much traction this has amongst geophysicists. I wonder how much simulation and testing you need before we feel safe about affecting an entire planet."
When Mankind can prove it can live in equilibrium oni Earth, then it can spread elsewhere.
What a shameful excuse for a rampant plague you are. Don't you know God gave us dominion over all? Sheesh!
I'm really shocked by the thought that we as humans believe all the religious bull*, then go along with this sort of thing. Let me clarify that religious bull*, I mean selective interpretation, whereby the absurd parts of the Bible are "of course" metaphorical, and everything that suits a cause is literal.
*Yak* (that's how a gnu barfs)
Please stop stalking me, bro.
FFS it's a big barren rock. Who cares what gets done with it?
I've been called a treehugger myself in the past, but some people take the biscuit.
I guess I prefer to err on the side of caution. That way our (the human race and all living forms on this globe) future won't be like a shitty sci-fi film.
My guess is you're conservative because you'd rather save $5 today than avoid a possible global crisis. The narrow minded, poor planning, ethnocentric, pathetic administration is right up your alley.
But Jesus wants us on Mars. If any life exists we must make Mars habitable by humans so we can send missionaries!
Martian: "Cough, choke, can't breathe, too much oxygen"
Missionary: "Just read this book, Jesus will help you breathe!"
Seriously, do you think the old manifest destiny idea will stop at earths atmosphere?
Send whiskey and fresh horses!
I learned long ago to regard anything that conservatives believe with suspicion. They are dangerous, esp. the religious ones.
