Warming Up Mars With Greenhouse Gases

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-is-news-in-august dept.

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."

    >>BTW, whoever modded you flamebait needs to broaden their perspective and try communicating as opposed to modding whatever they disagree with. Yours is an informative though different opinion.


    Due to /. restrictions mods can't communicate in a discussion they are moderating unless they log on as an AC on a different computer.


    Moderators always mod things down if they disagree with them. Don't beleive me? Try posting something that bashes the Democratic party or Linux and see how long it takes before it becomes -1 flamebait.

    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.
