How could a planet be heated inside - out? as to perhaps melt a frozen core, to induce a dynamo effect, tectonics & a magnetosphere?

What do you think Mars will look like, once it is terraformed?

Do you think paraterraforming is a bad idea? Why?

Pitch black, iceridden, rocky worlds. They are in need of some heat and light. Would it be possible to recreate the intense effects of a star artificially to bring these dull rocks to life?

the green house gases are the cause of global warming,2 mars is the forth rock from the sun.3 there is no life on mars.the polar icecaps are water when evaporated will cause atmosphere that why I posted this in terraforming, it would solve are problem with are global warming and create a use able planet for mankind to rape

no idea if any of that would work, maybe, maybe not. it would be interesting if we tried something like that, it would show how desperate we are. Plus mars will always be unable to carry life. I think the gasses should stay here, i want the polar ice caps to melt, so all the dumbasses who caused it can drown in it while i'm living in africa.

Just came across this and it support my theory History
*
Step 1:
Mars is approximately 4.6 billion years old. There are channels on the planet. These channels are strong evidence that water once flowed over its surface. According to NASA, this proves that Mars was once much warmer than it is now.
Features
*
Step 1:
The highest recorded surface temperature on Mars is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest recorded atmospheric temperature, on the other hand, is -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the air is made up primarily of carbon dioxide, Mars has a greenhouse effect which traps heat in the atmosphere. However, since the atmosphere is 100 times less dense than that of Earth, the greenhouse effect doesn't significantly affect the planet's temperatures. Mars also has an elliptical orbit. This causes its distance from the sun to vary. Mars has a day which is about 24 hours and 39 minutes long. The features conspire to keep the planet's atmosphere very cold.
Function
*
Step 1:
The thin atmosphere of Mars allows a great deal of solar radiation through to the planet's surface. This allows the temperature of the surface to heat up to a much higher temperature than that of the air. Also, the surface of Mars doesn't exchange heat with the atmosphere as readily as Earth's does. Mars' axis is tilted at a similar angle to Earth. This causes Mars to have seasons. The maximum temperatures on Mars take place at the equator during summer. There are frequent dust storms on Mars that often increase its atmospheric temperature.
Potential
*
Step 1:
Lowell Wood, a retired physicist who previously worked for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, believes that man could terraform Mars by creating an artificial greenhouse effect to make it warmer. He states that Mars is experiencing a "thermal depression," and that we could produce global warming on Mars in the same way that we've produced it here on Earth.
Time Frame
*
Step 1:
Dr. Lowell Wood believes that Mars can be made livable by the end of the 21st century. NASA similarly has stated that raising the temperature and atmospheric pressure on Mars could be accomplished in as little as a few decades. Chlorofluorocarbons could be released into the atmosphere, causing the average temperature to increase as much as 158 degrees Fahrenheit.
