Wreck two worlds instead of just one –war of the worlds?



War of the Worlds,
Classics illustrated n°124 – 1955


In War of the Worlds, by HG Wells, weird looking creatures, with superior technology come to earth and try to take it over. They see no value in either humanity or the rest of life already here. They try to destroy everything and reshape our planet to suite their own needs.Sounds sinister - But what if we did that? Unthinkable? – Well, there are people planning to do just that. We still don’t know if there is life on Mars or ever was. But if it is there, it may not be for long. “New research suggests that forcing global warming by injecting greenhouse gases may be the best way to terraform Mars, should our governments
decide to do so. The conditions warming Earth could be harnessed to transform Mars, some scientists have determined.Jump-starting global warming in a planet-sized laboratory would be a boon to science in some respects."Bringing life to Mars and studying its growth would contribute to our understanding of evolution, and the ability of life to adapt and proliferate on other worlds," says Margarita Marinova at NASA's Ames Research Center, where the study was done. "Since warming Mars effectively reverts it to its past, more habitable state, this would give any possibly dormant life on Mars the chance to be revived and develop further." - Robert Roy Britt, “Greenhouse effect could make Mars livable,” Feb. 3, 2005, MSNBCBut we’ve already wrecked havoc here on Earth, and by the results of our recent elections, it would seem that most Americans are not bothered by it. Global warming is changing the storm climates, raising temperatures, melting polar ice-caps and melting mountain snow caps. Our urban sprawl is wiping out countless species of animals and few people seem to care that amphibians are disappearing from the planet. So, do we wreck two planets now? Replace any "inferior" species so we can take over Mars? We know only rich people will be able to afford to create homes there. The rest of us would just have to tough it out here, on the old planet we are wrecking. So beware Martians – be very aware. We are coming and we won’t be friendly.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested
to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
