Scientists are getting very close to bringing a few iconic species, like woolly mammoths and dodos, back from extinction. That may not be a good thing.

    Bringing back mammoths could have a sizable positive impact on arctic ecosystem AND climate change.

    It sounds like a far fetched idea but this article is talking in details about this theory.

      Right. Cuz the fastest and better way to stop this planet from a climate disaster is bringing back mammals from extinction while we are busy exterminatig all other life on the planet.

      Sounds like pure hubries
