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."

    What is truly amazing about the TrollMod envirocaust deniers is that they have now abandoned any semblance of debate or reason. They merely haunt conversations, lurking with hidden daggers to silently, unaccountably attack anyone who calls out the sleazebags destroying our human chances of survival. That's a major collapse of their once-proud public braying. Perhaps their subspecies will be extinct in time for the rest of us to work together to survive.
