Before anybody can realistically claim that we can radically change the environment and climate on Mars, letβs see them stop climate change on earth.

If anyone thinks they can mix a basic cocktail let's first see them unmix a Manhatten and make it into a white russian!
Before you claim to be able to write a letter rewrite all of classic literature!
Beside we know how to fix our climate, there are several complex solutions being worked on and implemented- none of the are magic and instant so you probably won't recognize its happening until it'd almost finished.
Before you claim to be able to build me a new house, letβs see if you can paint my shed.
Yeah the only catch is that it turns out humans are really good at warming planets up, and that's one of the big stumbling blocks to making Mars habitable. Reversing the process is not something humanity has ever done before. So why not turn one of our biggest bugs and turn it into a feature? Plus if we are going to experiment with intentionally changing the atmosphere of a planet I'd rather we experiment on a place where the entirety of humanity isn't currently living.
You don't understand the difference between altering a precariously balanced system which involves billions of.moving parts and starting something relatively simple from new?
You donβt understand that I donβt believe these clowns are capable of doing either?
Before you claim to be able to build a functional village, lets see you tidy up your damn room for a change. (In response to guy above you)
Some people live in a lovely old rambling mansion with a busted HVAC system stuck on full blast sometimes, fires breaking out in the northwest and west wings all the time, and rising damp from a basement full of water seven feet deep and rising, but they think they should start building a new skyscraper on the empty lot across the street.
We can't even reliably get a couple astronauts out of orbit -- maybe next year? Why the hell do you think we could sustain life on Mars reliably?
Do you think this is something they plan to do today? Do you not have any concept of what science is and how it works?
Homeboy can't even run a livestream correctly with modern technology, why tf you think he'll make anything work on Mars?
"It'll happen in the future with future technology" is a cop out. I'll believe it when fusion and self driving cars become mainstream.
Sorry I didn't realize you thought Elon is the only person involved in space travel, that would explain why your opinion is so myopic j guess.
And yes this is science, that's what science is - studying and learning about how things work so that we know what the effect of our actions will be and what options we have available.
