Could the Red Planet be our next home? If climate change continues at its present pace on both planets, perhaps.
A pair of geology professors has just discovered that Alaska and Mars share some strikingly similar geological formations, caused in both cases by an astonishing number of snow and ice avalanches — caused, in turn, by temperature changes. Global warming is apparently occurring on both worlds, but since the median temperature on Mars is -81 degrees F., we've got a ways to go before our prospective new habitat will be too hot for humans to handle.
So start packing.
