Isn't there supposed to be a new ice-age coming? Why don't we just go somewhere cold? Maybe colonise mars?

Actually, is that the way to colonise mars? Fill our bodies with lots of excellent nano-stuff, which improves us immensely & keeps us warm.

Now if they'd only give off oxygen as a by-product...
