This is a GREAT idea! Just imagine algore on a one way rocket trip to Mars. The trick will be coming up with a plausible reason why we're sending him alone with the other colonists to follow right behind. And then not snickering when we explain it to him.

We've detected Global Warming on Mars!

We need someone with Al Gore's credentials to lead a team to determine what hazards this Martian Global Warming will pose to Mar's native population of ... microscopic fossils.
