%26quot;terraforming (geoenginnering)%26quot; isn%26#039;t gonna happen.
mars is too cold.
venus is too hot.

why would anyone think it%26#039;s better / cheaper / easier to completely make over a planet, than maintain the earth?

because that allows them to continue to pollute, and let someone else deal with the consequences. 67% 2 Votes

  • IF you mean bioengineering Earth, that idea has some serious drawbacks. First of all, it%26#039;s going to be fantastically expensive simply to make any change in the climate. Secondly, any program will create unexpected side-effects, and we will, therefore, have to create further programs, which will cost more and may need continued correction, possibly leading to a constant expenditure to %26quot;correct%26quot; the environment and to problems of varying magnitude, some with vast consequences. 0% 0 Votes

  • Promoting sustainability. Geoengineering is being seen as a magic solution. Let%26#039;s bury our problems, we have a long proven history that this works - NOT. 0% 0 Votes
