UH OH, MARS DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH CARBON DIOXIDE TO BE TERRAFORMED

But is it actually possible to terraform Mars using our current technology? According to a new NASA-sponsored study by a pair of scientists who have worked on many NASA missions, the answer is no. Put simply, they argue that there is not enough carbon dioxide gas (CO2) that could practically be put back into Mars’ atmosphere in order to warm Mars, a crucial step in any proposed terraforming process.

...And while transforming the Red Planet to make it suitable for human needs may not be doable in the near-future, it may be possible to get the process started in just a few decades’ time. It may not happen in our lifetime, but that does not mean that the dream of one-day making “Earth’s Twin” truly live up to its name won’t come true.

Disappointing.
Well... I guess no one alive today, will be seeing the planet Mars turn blue, and won't be able to take a leisurely walk on it's surface.
It will be Spacesuits and Pressurized Living Modules for all that visit for quite some time.
