Should we make mars habitable?

[lester1]

YES let's do it, and send all the criminals and cats there.

Done ;)

Well done, that's a start. Please send all the others up there as well, as soon as possible GREAT, no more cat crap in the garden.

shouldn't we make the earth habitable first?,rather than making it uninhabitable as we are doing now.

I think that a lot of politicians have decided that taking any genuine action to stop global warming and preserve life as we know it on planet earth is neither financially desirable nor a big vote winner. Keeping the electorate alive is not in the interest of big business election campaign backers.

Leaps into 10 litre ‘compact’ SUV and vanishes down road in cloud of high-octane fumes to preach the gospel of global preservation to a group of tree huggers.

Bush thinks that there is no such thing as excessive logging. He reckons that chopping all the trees down for an enormous profit is great, because it reduces the likelihood of forest fires. What a statesman.

GWB no doubt contributes, but this is a global problem with politicians of all flavours in all parts of the world suffering the same degree of short term stupidity. Chairman Mao did his bit, having the wonderful idea to cut down many of Chinas forested areas and turn them over to rice cultivation, result massive soil erosion and rivers and new hydro electric plant silted up. Another of his strokes of genius was to kill all the birds as they ate the crops, so hoards of people kept shouting and banging pots and the birds were not allowed to rest and eventually dropped dead of exhaustion. Problem was this indiscriminate slaughter also killed all the insectivorous birds, result crops eaten by uncontrolled population explosion of insects.

The French take potshots at song birds as they migrate to and from the UK.

Right thats it Mars for me
