If we are counting on going to Mars because we've already written off living on this planet sustainably, then we are fuckity fucked. This sounds insane to me, even under the worst earth scenarios mars seems much shittier. There's no atmosphere.

"If you had the power of geoengineering to terraform Mars into Earth, then you have the power of geoengineering to turn Earth back into Earth. So the argument that if we trash Earth we need another planet doesn't work."
