Global Warming could make Mars habitable

This article discusses how global warming could be modeled on Mars in order to make it a warmer and more people-friendly environment. The article discusses a theory that perflurocarbons could increase the climate temperature on Mars just as they have done on earth. However, in practice, due to its cost and inefficiency, the reality of this proposal will probably not happen. I still think its interesting that we are fearing global warming on this planet but want to use it our advantage on another.
