“Along with other measures, it’s hoped the woolly mammoths will create an environment which could stop Siberia’s permafrost melting and then releasing billions of tons of greenhouse gases.”
He said: “Cold-resistant elephants would flatten the insulating snow and supporting trees in winter and favour the highly heat reflective grass in summer. “They would also help capture new carbon by enhancing the photosynthetic capacity of the vegetation.” Should Prof Church and his Harvard uni team successfully clone woolly mammoths they would be taken to an extraordinary Ice Age safari park currently being developed by Russian scientists.
Called the Pleistocene Park, the 20,000 hectare zone in the furthest stretches of remote Siberia has been created in a bid to recreate an Ice-Age ecosystem. Boffins believe grazing woolly mammoths would also compact the snow in the winter and grass in the summer all of which lowers the permafrost temperature.
A few dozen, or even a few thousand, woolly mammoths tramping down the snow and grass in a 20,000 hectare park is going to have a snowball’s chance on the surface of the Sun to stop ALL of the permafrost in Siberia from melting? Yeah, they’re on drugs...either that, or so f’ing stupid that they should immediately be fired.
...and think of the Coca-Cola commercials. Do polar bears eat woolly mammoths?
You think they believe this crap? It’s just a way to make their harebrained idea a holy cause by allying it with the global warming movement.
