As for living on Mars, terra-forming can grow plants to create an atmosphere that will alter the temperature, etc. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Yeah, we are all better off back in feudal times, when our betters owned everything for our own good, right?
'Ole Chris just went to where the money was. And his investor reaped so much profit in stolen Indian gold that the resulting inflation made sure the Spanish crown never had the wealth to invest in anything ever again. Odd that the "experts" didn't see that coming.
As for "terra-forming" Mars, isn't that sorta like killing off the buffalo to grow wheat, or even throwing another log on the fire to break the cycle of ice ages? I thought we were against manipulating environments for our own benefit, these days.
But if you really think we ought to make Mars livable, why not start with a much easier project -- Antarctica!
