As the days grow on, we use all our non-recyclable resources without even knowing it. Like a car, that burns fossil fuels, and we use more and more, it becomes scarce, and gas prices go up.
Now, they're trying to change Mars into a copy of Earth, so in a few million years, when Earth is a desolate place with nothing, we will be on Mars before you know it, and expending of its resources, destroying it too.
Something tells me that this cycle will go on for some time, unless we become a little bit wiser. So, we'd be kind of like the Roman Empire without knowing it; we'd fly around, conquering/ruining planet after planet, until one day, we realize that our civilization is unwittingly more destructive than the Taliban.
We may even come across a planet with life on it, and morphing its atmosphere would kill it off, only for our short-lived stay on it. I just have a bad feeling about it; it doesn't feel right. So, basically, this debate is about whether or not Terra Forming is really right.
