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."
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.
