Also in addition to the solar bombardment from the lack of a magnetic field sufficient enough for solar shielding, the gravitational field wouldn't even hold any atmosphere in place at or near the surface anyway. Am I missing something, or does science have the answers to re-heat Mars' core, and add an additional couple hundred percent to it's mass to create the required gravity and magnetic fields. It seems like a waste of thought that could be going into how to undo the damage done to our own atmosphere.

No one is considering terra forming Mars.
It is impossible :
For the reason you gave - gravity.
The mass of Mars is only 10% that of earth.
So it would not be enough to ,
"add an additional couple hundred percent to it's mass"
It would need at least 500% more mass, probably 6 or 700%
And that is impossible.
Hence no terraforming for Mars.

It's very hard to get sunburned on Mars because, Mars is farther from the Sun than the Earth is. The power of sunlight follows the inverse square law too. Magnetic shielding IS NOT REQUIRED. Reheating the mars outer core IS NOT REQUIRED to terra form mars. There are currently NO PLANS to terraform Mars NOW, so all your complaining is pointless AND IRRELEVANT.

Because in a tropical climate competing through differential reproduction works best the larger numbers that one breeds. Hence all tropical descended populations are overpopulating the world and have maxed out the use of all resources. Every single year they add 85 to 90 million more tropical descended people. This is like adding another country the size of Spain every single year. As bad as it is Mars is the only place for us to go since the Earth is full with no more vacancies.

NASA has NEVER considered terra forming. They know that it is impossible.
ONLY science fiction buffs talk about that.

Actual scientists are not considering (and never have considered) terraforming Mars.

Trained professionals are NOT considering terraforming, scifi nuts are.
