Bringing them back from extinction just so we can make sure they suffer before going extinct again by us.

There are countless species going extinct as I'm typing this bullshit.

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
