Could Mars ever get warm enough with enough CFC or sulfur hexafluoride. Is it possible to get Mars to Earth temperatures and pressures with these chemicals starting a chain reaction to release the permafrost CO2? What kind of species could we use to help? Types of algae, moss, high alpine trees? Is genetic engineering a must? How feasible is it to get enough nitrogen on Mars. Can enough oxygen be released from the soil? Will there be enough water for oceans? Any climate scientists here? What would the climate/ weather of a terraformed or partially terraformed Mars look like? Based on all of the land in the south and the ocean in the North, it looks like it will be a monsoon climate. Can anyone predict what the winds and currents would look like? Would the south be very arid no matter what? How would seasons be different with such a longer year? Where would the cities end up being built? I would think near the equator for the warmest climate and feasibility of space elevator.
