Yeah, possible - but not for the longest time.

Go back a billion+ years, the Earth wasn't habitable... no way humans could survive on this planet.

It doesn't take much to cause problems on this planet. We have seasons because of the tilt in our axis. So, if the Earth was another Earth further away from the sun, our summers would be quite cold... or if the Earth was closer to the sun(again, by about 24,000 miles) our winters would be well above 100 degrees.

Mars will never support life again... its history.
Earth, is ours to destroy.

A huge argument from ignorance a failure of imagination at the same time.

Wish people would stop posting false statements like that and missinforming the readers.

You do realise that there may be other types of life with completely different properties to the DNA based life we're accustomed to ? As a matter of fact many scientist would be "disappointed" if we discovered "our" life on Mars.

Such a small difference in distance from the sun would not lead to noticeable climate changes. Seasons are not caused by the difference in distance from the sun, but by differences in the average angle under which the sun's light hits the earth surface.

Also, nothing in your post has anything to do with anything else in your post. Was your aim to produce a random collection of non-sequiturs?
