One thing known to help create a habitable planet is piles of decomposing conservative billionaire carcasses. The real question here is how quickly can we get them there.

To be fair, this may not make Mars more habitable, but it would absolutely make earth more habitable.

Wouldn't new billionaires simply take their place? I suspect your suggestion may have been slightly facetious, but I feel like the underlying problem might not be the billionaires themselves, but the system which creates them.
