"Uh oh, Mars Doesn’t Have Enough Carbon Dioxide to be Terraformed" 2

From Universe Today:
Quote:
For almost a century now, the concept of terraforming has been explored at length by both science fiction writers and scientists alike. Much like setting foot on another planet or traveling to the nearest star, the idea of altering an uninhabitable planet to make it suitable for humans is a dream many hope to see accomplished someday. At present, much of that hope and speculation is aimed at our neighboring planet, Mars.
But is it actually possible to terraform Mars using our current technology? According to a new NASA-sponsored study by a pair of scientists who have worked on many NASA missions, the answer is no. Put simply, they argue that there is not enough carbon dioxide gas (CO2) that could practically be put back into Mars’ atmosphere in order to warm Mars, a crucial step in any proposed terraforming process.

But, but, life on mars! They even think they found life on Mars. And if "other" life existed on Mars, humans should CERTAINLY be able to live on Mars; I mean, we are the bestest, baddest life there is, was, and ever will be throughout all universes and dimensions!!!

seems like their idea of terraforming is on a global scale, that doesn't surprise me as being currently unfeasible. now maybe smaller contained areas could be possible, similar to

Nobody has any serious plans to send humans to Mars. Ironically, that's pretty much a consequence of trying to come up with serious plans to send humans to Mars in the first place.
