Warming Up Mars With Greenhouse Gases

fembots writes "Scientists are thinking of using the same toxic stuff (Octafluoropropane) already blamed for global warming here to put some life back on Mars. It would take hundreds of years but eventually ice sheets would melt, grass would grow here, and temperatures would hit 50 degrees along the equator of the planet. Martian organisms might be revived too - if there are any."

Human ingenuity

Wait a minute here... You're telling me some of the toxic gases environmentalists have been screaming bloody murder about can actually be useful? Bwaaaahahaha - Greenpeace and Sierra club, Eat Crow! This is a perfect example of thinking outside the proverbial "box." Less complaining and more human ingenuity, well done!
