Guest theSun Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 yeah the most realistic way would be to pump that shit full of enough CO2 to bring the temp down so liquid water can form. the only forseeable problem would be pumping too much CO2 into the atmosphere. can we take some back out? can we do that here on earf?

kokoon Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 but mars would probably stabilize sooner, it's quite a bit further from the sun after all. or not?

kaini Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 yeah, that would have a bearing on things. the key is getting the balance right... it's a system with many variables. if you were to introduce an algae or lichen, it would speed up CO2 production, but it would also increase albedo... it's like a calculus equation with about 30 variables.
