You'd think by 2077 all the cars would be electric. Or would that just not fit with Night City's dark, polluted vibe?
If we succeeded, by the creation of an artificial magnetosphere and the addition of potent greenhouse gasses, in bringing Mars' temperature up from its current -60 degrees to over 15 degrees, we would be unleashing geological chaos. The Martian crust would undergo thermal expansion, creating significant hoop stress and newly formed oceans would weigh down on parts of the crust. The result could be violent Marsquakes that would go on for god knows how long before everything settled in the new equilibrium. Scientists would gain a wealth of information in watching tectonic processes play out in decades that on earth take Millennia, but good luck establishing any colonies.
