Re: Natural Terraformation? - A Possibillity?

Lets say in a hypothetical situation that a 1 kilometer asteriod struck the Martian south pole and tossed chunks of CO2 ice into the atmosphere and melted it. Wouldn't the asteroid release CO2 and H2O providing Water Vapor and heat? Melting the North Pole and forming the legendary 'Oceanis Borealis'? Couldn't we also stear the asteriod into Mars ourself?
