No, it is not true. As you can see by the other answers here, living on Mars is not practical unless one were to construct biodomes to live under. Even then, the gravity on Mars is only about 38% as strong as it is on Earth, and the long-term effects of such reduced gravity are unknown. No one knows if the gravity on Mars is strong enough to avoid or minimize these health problems. Mammalian health is affected by long-term exposure to lower levels of gravity such as bone loss, changes in bone structure, muscle atrophy, and changes in the inner ear.
The radiation of Mars is also hazardous.
It is not as simple as one answerer suggests that Mars would be habitable if it also suffered global warming effects.
Many are uneducated about the true conditions that exist on Mars. Science fiction on television and in movies have created false impressions of life on other worlds and the planned manned missions to Mars are only fueling their ignorance. Your friends comments were absurd but forgivable.

Humans could not live on Mars. The atmosphere contains little or no oxygen and a warm day is only slightly above freezing. Global warming if it actually is happening will be gradual and involve only a few degrees of warming within the next fifty years. Sea levels will rise but it in no way would suddenly cause the Earth to be uninhabitable.

Mars may eventually have people living on it but not for a very long time and only after many obstacles to living there are solved. If water can be found on Mars it can be broken down into hydrogen for rocket fuel and power and oxygen to breath. The way it now stands Mars would be a difficult place to visit because all the food, water, and oxygen you need for the entire three years trip would have to be brought with you.

No. It's true that if global warming continues as predicted, we and all other life on Earth are dead. There's no moving to Mars, we don't have the capability and Mars has no breathable air or liquid water. So clearly, stopping global warming is the preferred option in this instance. It may not be too late; all you and I can do is - our part.

If global warming continues we will be experiencing big time issues. To our misforture, Mars isn't an envirnoment that is capable of habitation. Ironically, If Mars would endure green house gases of it own, then the idea of life on mars would be something not so far-fetched. Even if we had to leave our planet, the chances would be slim to none. This is because we simply wouldn't have the funds as well as a plan that isn't so tenative.

No, it is not scare strategies or worry-mongering. this is actual, and measurable. Your "very extremely warmer planet" remark shows which you do no longer relatively understand the technological understanding in contact. A small upward thrust in known worldwide temperature is derived from super will advance in some factors, mitigated with the help of small decreases in others. the final style seems small because of the very super volume of documents blanketed-this is the entire planet, inspite of each thing. No severe scientist doubts the validity or seriousness of worldwide warming any further. the people who're denying it are no longer scientists yet specific businessmen, who're profiting the main from the equipment because it exists now. As for nuclear capability, the technologies has come an prolonged way from the 60's and 70's. you may no longer study then with now, what became risky then is extra predictable and controllable now. And the main significant objection then became, and maintains to be now, the disposition of the wastes generated.

100% false. What is causing global warming is releasing CO2 into the atmosphere faster than Earth can recycle it. This excess CO2 traps in more heat from the sun. In fact, it is because of the greenhouse effect is why the Earth is not an ice ball. The problem is that we are making the greenhouse effect worse.
In fact, it is theorized that in order to make Mars more habitable for humans, we have to pollute it. Put more greenhouse gases into Mars's atmosphere to trap more heat.
The key to reversing Global warming is to remove the excess CO2 in our atmosphere, and the best way is to plant trees. Of course no where near as desperate to have floating barges on oceans with algae on them, he he.

No, that is not true. Not even close. Nobody has ever been to Mars, the air on Mars is thinner that air on Earth at the maximum altitude an airliner can fly, and anyway it is pure carbon dioxide, which is poisonous to humans.

forget mars, if global warming continues, the melting of the ice caps will disrupt ocean currents such as the gulf stream that maintain global temperatures, lowering the overall world temperature, and thus counteracting global warming.

No. Forget Mars. Mars is just as useless a rock as the moon, only a lot farther away. We evolved on Earth. Earth is our home. If we screw up this planet we are toast. There is no where else to go..

Just be sure and do your part to stop global warming,, No really we arent going to have to move to mars,, Not in the next few hundred years anyways,
