Mars already has planetary duststorms. No doubt this will fuck up the air quality for a couple of decades, but I reckon it will be in a better position for full-scale terraforming than we first found it.

Ignore the monetary values in the pic, I really did pull them out of my ass.

Pic related, however I have been informed by Colonel Coffee that it would require something on the order of at least 100,000 nukes.

Though I'm told that a fair few extra nukes would need to be used (think over a million)
