Life on Mars. Why go through the trouble?

I was just reading an AMA with Elon Musk about how he envisions life on Mars. Basically, it's living in glass domes and using underground tunnels.
If that's the life to expect there, why wouldn't we just colonize the Arctic or the vast deserts around the world. There are many unlivable places currently on Earth that would be made livable if we're just going to live in glass domes.
Why travel millions of miles to do that?

I'm pretty sure it's all about resources. Governments think Mars has plenty of it.
ETA: Underground resources

Natural resources on Mars
Development of long distance space travel
Ability to colonize away from our relatively vulnerable planet

Elon Musk is a crack head.

why colonize other planets in search for extraterrestrial life when we already communicate with 57 different species of intelligent alien life?
Perhaps as a Genesis-type project?

What is the feasibility of transporting natural resources back to Earth?

Pre-terraforming.

Climate change will make the Earth so uninhabitable, that Martian domes will feel like Beverly Hills

It's a god awful small affair

If we're going to live in glass domes, is climate change even relevant?

Do you actually try to come off as mentally retarded? or does it just come naturally?

Because humans are natural explorers and some people seek to change life as we know it as opposed to bitching about stuff on the interwebs.
You should be thankful such people are around.

some people get bored here on Earth

I knew you were being sarcastic, but I assumed that fleeing Earth due to climate change would be one of the answers. So, if we are going to live in glass domes on Mars, we might as well stay here and live in glass domes.
