Can we put the all of the people like the ones at ferguson on a different planet, and let them burn that one down?

[Empireoftheatom48]

Pure BS!

[LaRueLaDue]

Geez, what nutcases...

We cannot even get one manned vehicle to Mars, much less get a whole lot of people there, and then “terraform” it at the same time.

These people need to retire and start writing science fiction novels. At least it would be honest work.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Maybe liberals can go to Mars, and create their nirvana there? Just imagine — no conservative politicians or conservative voters to get in their way, no established cultures or societies with cultural norms opposed to liberalism.

This has got it be a liberal dream, to start society over and construct a while new society based on liberal ideas.

stress on the planet.”

Oh i HOPE that its not Microaggrieved... there’s no TELLING what it might do.

Dear Earth, WE’RE REALLY Ever So Sorry ! Honest

[Rodentking]

I have a superb idea. Let’s convince all the people that work, farm, build, create, lead towards the goals of the Founding Fathers to quit having children and reward those with no education, no work ethic, no job, no love of country, no love of God, no sense of anything except entitlement and dedication to the destruction of the Christian World to not only reproduce, but reproduce here. Oh, and while you are at it, value the Delta Smelt over man. That should solve all our problems.

[9thLife]

Maybe if they fire these incompetent morons, they won’t have the time to spout off endlessly from their hallucinatory parallel realities.

[rktman]

Pish posh. We’ll simply ruin it too so why bother? We’ll probably even change the climate. Oh, and be funded by the Koch brothers who invented evil. :>}

[ClearCase_guy]

Golly gee -- when the whole "three planets" strategy proves somewhat difficult to implement, I think I know what they will propose.

So much of the chatter of world affairs seems to point to the idea that some vast percentage of people are not needed. I think the Elitests would just love to kill off 80% of the population worldwide. They, of course, would be utterly untouched by the purge, but at the far end of it, they could settle down on their own 500-acre estates, with a few lucky slaves to care for them. It is the Progressive Dream.

But -- you know -- if the ol' "three planets" thing ends up working, then the population cull probably won't be needed ...

[stboz]

Terraform all you want. Mars has no magnetic fields to shield you from cosmic radiation.

Earth does. Mars don't.

One for China and India. One for the Duggars. The 3rd for the rest of us.

[TheGipperWasRight]

"We’ve been far too successful as the human animal. People allege we’re short 40-50 percent of a planet now." Not to worry! The upcoming national healthcare system of the United States will do it's part to helping people into an early grave.

uncurbed climate change and population growth

They never stop pushing their agenda.

They apparently forget the Population Zero efforts 4 or 5 decades ago.

Uncurbed climate change? I curb climate change now: in the summer I turn on the A/C; in the winter I turn on the heater. In between, I open the doors and enjoy a nice spring or autumn day.

[stormhill]

It’s no secret that uncurbed climate change and population growth are going to (and already have) put stress on the planet

No, actually the planet couldn't care less about anything we do. Does it strike you as peculiar that in the same breath these Chicken Littles fret about keeping the human race alive they whine that there are too many of us? It would be an amusing paradox if it didn't reveal the genocidal hypocrisy of the left.

It's an added twist to throw in the hoax of global warmin....sorry, climate change.

[mowowie]

Ganymede

[Olog-hai]

Another so-called “scientist” with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering? Just like Bill Nye (but not, because Nye only got his Bachelors)? And pushing the hoax like Nye? And this guy gets to be chief scientist at NASA LaRC?

[FreeReign]

Obama's NASA.

No Actual Science Allowed.

[LadyBuck]

If I was forced to read the article, I would.

The two second title scan, which is easier, leads me to believe that:

The gays want Uranus?

[Tax-chick]

This is hogwash, which is not to say that the idea of human habitation of other planets/satellites isn’t really, really cool.
