I believe that our primary focus should remain on addressing climate change on Earth. If humanity has demonstrated the capability to significantly impact Earth’s climate negatively, there is no guarantee that we won’t replicate these mistakes on Mars, even if we succeed in creating a habitable environment there.

Terraforming Mars is an ambitious and long-term goal that captures the imagination and pushes the boundaries of science and technology. However, the resources and effort required for such a colossal endeavor could be better utilized in solving the urgent and immediate environmental crises we face on our own planet.

Moreover, Earth’s ecosystems and biodiversity are unique and irreplaceable. Our priority should be to preserve and restore these natural systems, ensuring a sustainable future for all life forms here. By focusing on Earth, we can develop and implement technologies and policies that mitigate climate change, protect our environment, and promote a healthier planet for future generations.
