Humansneedthreebasicthingstolive:watertodrink,airtobreatheandfoodtoeat.Because
ofthe shortage ofthose above,it is impossible to live onMars right now.Then howcanwe make
Mars a right place for humans to live on? The answer is to change the environment of the planet
sothatitissimilartoEarth's.
On Mars, the temperature is about-60℃. So oneof the main purposes is to warm it up. One
idea for warming Mars comes from a problem here on Earth —climate change. Most scientists
agree that Earth is becoming warmer because of increased levels of greenhouse gases in our
atmosphere（大气）.WemightcreatesimilarconditionsonMarsbybuildingfactoriesthatgiveoff
greenhouse gases.The gas will change the atmosphere on Mars. Rain will fall, and it may be
