A romantic, but completely ludicrous and unrealistic idea. Even the worst case scenarios for climate change leave the earth orders of magnitude more habitable than mars. You think the Earth's biosphere is complicated and therefore dangerous to tweak, yet think the way to insure against this is to literally engineer a new biosphere on a dead world?
