Is carbon Capture the First stage of Terraforming ?

As human beings we have, come to dominate our environment.  Not just that we have changed the very planet that is our home.  Now i have stated many times that I am not a human climate change believer, in fact I believe it will be shown in the future to be one of the biggest scams pulled in human history.  But this post isnt about that.

Terraforming Mars

This post is about our moves to now manipulate our climate.  Something that the science writers have spoken about in many books as the foundation to Terraforming.  I noticed with interest yesterday that a young Australian has designed a carbon capture method that is more than just promising .

If this is true if he can literally use this technology to capture Carbon and then re use it will then maybe we have taken our first step to Terraforming.  For those who don't get the concept, its pretty simple.  You pull up to a planet and its not really made for humans (to hot, to cold, no air).  But we decide to inhabit it anyway, to do so we would need to change the atmosphere and  other things so we could live there.  Hence the concept of Terraforming.

So is this the first step, is this so called climate emergency just a ploy to develop new technology and remove our dependence on oil.  I think personally we may be a lot closer to a carbon solution to the issues of global warming natural, man made or other causes included.

I hope it is, I hope its a move to a future where we not only can remove carbon but can manipulate weather to turn our barren desserts green and hopefully provide a high standard of living for a population about to double again this century.

More importantly I hope we have developed a tool that can take us to the stars, after all mankind's future is not great if we have to rely on the resources of this small green planet alone.
