It's not people who pollute it, but industry. And the heavy industry exists already about 150 years and hasn't yet managed to wreck the earth.

From the Economic perspective, if the population of people that reside in a certain country(or a planet in this case) increases, the supply and demand will also increase, proportionally. This increase of demand causes the increase of industrial activities(prerequisite for the increase of supply), in order to satisfy the demand. So the increase of total population is responsible for the rise of the industry, and therefore for the rise of pollution.
And if we're alive and well today, it doesn't mean that our children and grandchildren will live in the same conditions. Our planet is a complex
machine and we don't know it well enough. At least not at present.
I remember, when I was a child, we had real winter in Croatia(with snow and everything). I don't know if you noticed, but the winter is getting milder every year. It's a fact that the Sun is increasing its activity, so this is partly the reason for the warm up, but we're doing our part by polluting the Earth. Either with our numbers or our industrial activities.

You mean, with oceans?
Yes, let's start putting water from the oceans of the Earth into hampers and then transporting it to Mars, in order to form seas.

hehe, Mars has enough water to supply itself. The water on Mars is in solid state.
