What we've learned by heating up Earth would work just as well at heating up Mars.
Still got the air pressure problem too, and the cosmic rays, and everything is poisonous, but none of those problems is insurmountable.

Bollocks
We haven't even understood the role and identity of all common soil organisms here yet.
Fuck we barely understand the nervous system and microbiome of our own digestive system. Let alone correctly reproducing soils on another planet.

Balls to your bollocks. We understand how to heat up a planet.
You're presenting arbitrary gaps in our knowledge of biology as a functional roadblock to the feasibility of terraforming.
We can engineer algae/bacteria that would thrive on Mars. I think it would be an act of self sabotage to not do this. Imagine having the ability to spread life through the universe and choosing not to.

If we cannot fix a serviceable planet, what makes you so sure we can make a new one?
I'm a pragmatist not an idealist in this. There are so many unknowns, I can't say it is impossible of course.
As for spreading life, that's a little like saying because someone can have kids, they should.

In reverse order:
No it really isn't anything like that.
Robert Zubrin is a pragmatist too, listen to what he says about colonising Mars.
Because the problems Mars has are solvable by employing the very methods used to create the problems on Earth. Mars is an industrialist's dream, a planet that gets nicer the more greenhouse gasses you release into it.
