If 'global warming' killed all vegetation and took away all of the oxygen on earth, earth would still be better than Mars. To leave earth then go to Mars would be super idiotic, especially if you have you have remotest understanding that the sand on mars poisons human beings. they can make a suit or an ointment that keeps that from happening, and keeps the air from poisoning everyone and keep it from being colder that humanity and fathom living under, or keep it's surface from reshifting minor storms. A create sustainable water, and create sustainable vegetation on poisonous soil that will then absorb the soil poisons assuming it survives and kill you. But then why not just do what on absolute worst case scenario earth?

The artic is what it is because it tilts slightly further from the sun. The tropics are what they are because they curve slightly closer to the earth. But someone who needs mittens and sunscreen in life is talking about colonizing Mars?

What would earth have to be for that to even be a possiblity or a good idea or feasible? I don't know why people will refuse to live in the Sahara Desert to now live in a sahara desert with poison sad, no air, minimal sunlight and several times colder than the arctic. The coldest day in the artic ever recorded is -100 degrees I believe. The average day on Mars is -80 in the summer, -220 in the winter.

What would have to happen to the earth for this to be an 'option'?
Exploration, TSA. That's what it's about. I love to see Astronauts walk on Mars, study the planet, collect samples, and then come home.

Good post. Living on a dead planet doesn't make any sense when we're living on a planet that contains life. Scientists have discussed for years terraforming Mars back to what is was before its death. Lol. Good luck. That'll take decades based on the planet's size. Also, like you've stated, we're human. Our bodies aren't made to survive on another planet like Mars. Gravity is weak so our organs and bones will crumble. Special suits and facilities on Mars to keep that from happening.

Again, scientists talk and write theories but don't follow through due to a lack of funding and technology.
