Terraforming Mars - The Atmosphere Solution
 
#2
The big problem with Mars' atmosphere though is there isn't enough of it. And trapar doesn't seem to have any other qualities other than "hey, you can surf on it." It's not an oxygenating medium, so you can't breathe it. It's not a greenhouse gas, so it won't help trap heat. It's not a UV blocker, so it can't stop the excess solar radiation that the Xavier Protocol grid lets through. And that's what Mars needs for an atmosphere; it has to be breathable, it has to trap heat and it has to block UV.
