Resurrecting the Woolly Mammoth and Other Climate Moonshots

Explore the concept of climate moonshots, including the ambitious plan to resurrect woolly mammoths to cool the Arctic's melting permafrost, in this 51-minute talk from The Aspen Institute. Delve into the scientific community's response to climate change, examining unconventional measures proposed to prevent ecological collapse. Join science writer Ross Andersen, who shares insights from his Siberian expedition investigating giant craters, alongside a paleo-ecologist and an earth systems scientist. Discuss topics such as atmospheric seeding, permafrost preservation, mass extinction, Earth's resilience, and the cultural significance of mammoths. Examine the Blitzkrieg hypothesis, wildlife management strategies, and the funding challenges associated with these innovative climate solutions.
