Resurrecting Extinct Species: The Potential Impact on Carbon Offset and Climate Change
This chapter discusses the idea of resurrecting extinct species, particularly the woolly mammoth, and its potential impact on carbon offset and climate change. The speaker explains how the presence of woolly mammoths in the Arctic in the past helped maintain permafrost and trap carbon, and by reintroducing them and restoring grasslands, it is proposed to cool the Arctic, slow down permafrost recession, and reduce carbon release.
