Many of them anyway.

There is nothing we can do to the Earth that will make it worse than Mars.

Have they even asked the Martians if that would be something they would like?

It's like socialism, I'm pretty sure they'll get it right next time.

If humans are horrible and are destroying earth why would they want to spread that to Mars?

This is such a stupid question and you should feel bad about it.

Well Earth is our home planet.

Mars is like a rental car, you are gonna push the limits with it, if you break it, it's somebody else's problem

What a ridiculous connection to make. Addressing climate change isn't an ethical question because it's wrong to change the environment. It's an ethical and scientific question because of the type of change that is happening. Changing the environment in a way that makes it worse is stupid (and unethical due to the problems it will cause for future generations). Changing it in a way that makes it better is smart and not ethically a problem. Terraforming Mars would only be an ethical issue if there were life there that might be harmed by the changes. As far as we know there isn't.

In my opinion, it's [Life] a highly overrated phenomenon. Mars gets on perfectly without so much as a microorganism. See: there's the south pole beneath us now... No life. No life at all, but giant steps, ninety feet high, scoured by dust and wind into a constantly changing topographical map, flowing and shifting around the pole in ripples ten thousand years wide. Tell me... would it be greatly improved by an oil pipeline?

What did the Martians do to deserve humans invading their lands and taking their good red earth? Damn white people pushing the green people out
