Elon Musk believes that vaporizing Mars' ice caps would produce a greenhouse effect, warming the planet to Earth-like temperatures.

Musk has repeatedly posited the idea that Mars' atmosphere could be warmed to accommodate human life by nuking its poles and artificially engineering a greenhouse effect. On Tuesday however, Musk suggested that satellites equipped with solar reflectors could be preferable to dropping nuclear weapons. Vaporizing Mars' poles is not certain to have Musk's desired effect, as they may not contain enough CO2 to sufficiently warm the atmosphere.
