Resumo

Previous proposals for terraforming Mars mostly involve an initial phase of planetary engineering to warm the planet by ∼60 K so that its mean temperature is above the freezing point of water. Suggested methods of achieving this warming are reviewed and found to be probably insufficient. A new, two stage, terraforming scenario is outlined.
