Or dump it and water on Mars. Terraforming in action.

Please don't make me want to thump you for cretinism !

It's a somewhat real suggestion. Enough CO2 would create an atmosphere,
warmth and protect the planet. Plants would convert the CO2 to O2, fixing
carbon.

Of course it's a long way to haul gas.

Somehow I think Mars has a problem of insufficient gravity to hold onto
a good atmosphere.

Huh? You are thinking of the moon. Mars HAS an atmosphere already.
Mostly CO2. Where do you think the 200MPH winds come from? Then,
there's those cool purple sunsets!

Doh!
