Response #10 to "Making Mars the New Earth."

When I chose this article, I chose it for two specific reasons. One, I enjoy reading about ideas like this, to me its very interesting. The other reason is that terraforming a planet like Mars using the same methods that is causing irreparable damage to our own planet could teach us things in the long run. oh, and also overpopulation? Solved by a terraformed Mars. NASA is out of the picture however. It simply doesn't have the funds. A global initiative would be needed in order to make this idea a reality. And while this blog post isn't strictly about alternative energy, it is very important in its own regard in that it is about the effects of climate change. If there is a possibility that Mars could be transformed from a barren planet to a green one, think about how our green planet could be transformed to a blue one.
