That's supposedly what caused them to go extinct in the first place-a warming climate-at it hasn't exactly cooled down since then.
There's still millions of square miles of frozen tundra in northern Siberia and Canada. Won't that be a suitable climate for them? It's not like that's all going to turn into tropical rain forest in 10 years (despite what Greta tells you).

Back then the IPCC was not holding annual, big-budget spectaculars. More COP’s would have been helpful. The last such bash, in Dubai, was fabulously productive.
i agree with a previous poster - where are they going to put them? this isn't a smaller animal like lizard or a turtle.
not to mention, ok, let's say they bring it back & it's successful. are they gonna do it again & create a clone? or a create mate using the same dna base? if those 2 go on to successfully reproduce, wouldn't the herd eventually become inbred?

Once they have grown a successful male & female, they'd have to clone a few more, to create a breeding population.
I considered that but clones would not have the memories or experiences of the original and the poster said:
"I’d like to see people(who got a raw deal) get another shot."
What does it matter if humankind knew or not knew if they were killing the species off or not if they were ultimately killed off?
If you would read the context, you would see i was responding to someone who believed we should restore species killed off by man's stupidity.

Your attempt to rename scientists is a joke. Those boys playing with toys you call are themselves scientists too. Doing something like this is very difficult hence we still aren’t able to despite decades and decades of work so clearly these folks are really good at their science.
They are egotistical geneticists, not ecologist or wildlife scientists. They are not conservationists. They foresee a world not where man leaves wild things and wild places well enough alone and protects biodiversity, but a world where boys with toys micromanage everything. The world they want to create will be one where the argument will exist that conservation doesn't matter because extinction is no longer "forever." Kill something off? No problem, we'll create it in the lab.. "Wild"life as we know it will no longer exist. We will be gods. Or they will. No thank you.
The world that supported mammoth no longer exists. The world that supported passenger pigeon no longer exists. We don't even fully grasp how ecosystems functioned when they lived, and we certainly don't understand what irreparable changes might occur in existing species and diversity if these boys with toys get their way reintroducing them. It's ignorant and idiotic, which I would expect from people obsessed with their technological toys.
