I guess it would take a lot of time to accommodate Mars for trees. More than for algae ;)

Can't they just put the algae in the ocean?

If we put the algae in the oceans, then sink all of our cities underwater, all of our problems will be solved.

Green shit on your terrace, leaves fucking everywhere, looming threat of bird shit on your head, seeds everywhere, roots growing through everything, blocking the sun at every step, tough lessons in gravity for things kids climbing them, lot of damage when it's stormy out.

But nah trees are great, really.

Edit: apparently I need to clarify that I really do love nature more than the concrete jungle, but there are things you can find that are not that great about trees.

ETA: Yes, that definitely needed clarification.

Gray shit on your everything, concrete fucking everywhere, looming threat of 2-ton steel death machines caving in your head, overheating everywhere, asphalt plowing through everything, soaking up the sun at every step, tough lessons in momentum for kids crossing them, lot of traffic and pollution when there are drivers out.

You could change half of your words, and keep the meaning the same, and make a compelling case that roads, or any other things, are humanity's greatest scourge.

If all you can do is complain that the natural world is insufficiently bent to your personal convenience, you are the problem with humanity right now.

Go touch whatever remaining local flora people like you have allowed to continue to exist, and quit being an imbecilic bellend online.
