Terraforming is the modification of a planet inhospitable to Earth type life forms into one that will support and nourish them. We ain't there yet insofar as Earth is still capable of supporting us. What we need to do is take steps to ensure that things don't get any worse here and, hopefully, figure out ways to make things better.
