The rocket you use to sling them at Mars will produce orders of magnitude more CO2 than it could carry to Mars.

And this is completely ignoring the CO2 cost of building the rocket.

Even then, the amount of energy required to accelerate the CO2 to escape velocity will still result in more CO2 being created.

Well, then.

We should just put this entire debate to bed, shouldn't we?

JUST ONE MORE THING

Go fuck yourself
