This site gives the same ideas as the other resourses. However this site tells us how terrafroming the planet could back fire. The idea of of heating up the planet is a good idea but it also has a down side. The heat could cause Mars to flood in water. We don't know exactly how much water would pour out from the Martian soil. Also we dont know how much water is being held in the frozen poles of Mars. This would leave little space for humans to colonize if the planet flooded. Furthermore Mars has no global magnetic field. Although this is not such a big deal for humans, if we wanted to bring animals it would create a problem for them. This site took the ideas of the other sites I visited and provided a different vantage point to view from. Makes you think about what could go wrong with terraforming instead of just stating what could go right.
