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."

Even if global warming were true for example (which it's not)

It's not? It's been conclusively proven that global warming isn't true? Wow, I totally didn't get the memo. Either that or I just missed it because it came with all the creationist memos I throw out every morning.

It will happen during the third term of Bush - Although not to save the planet, but to continue with his God-complex and rush to create the conditions of the Apocalypse.

As it says in Revelations - the seas will turn to blood.

A great algal bloom is red (due to the iron) rather than it's normal green, thus giving the seas the look of blood. It also, will cause massive sealife death due depletion of free oxygen in the water, and the heavy intake of C02 from the air)

Eventually, we'll return to the old Testament and be commanded by a burning Bush.
