What are the key challenges and limitations of space colonization as a response to climate change, and how do these compare to the realities of a warming Earth?

The book "A City on Mars" challenges the optimistic narrative surrounding space colonization, highlighting the significant environmental and logistical challenges. The authors emphasize the dangers of leaving a warming Earth for a hostile planet like Mars, comparing it to escaping a messy room to live in a toxic waste dump. This challenges the common assumption that space colonization is a viable solution to climate change.
