I felt the same thing, like this reporter or channel have an agenda, itself still stuck with that cold war mentality.
Not.
Well, to be perfectly honest, it is still a theory. And he could be wrong. So a little scepticism is not bad.
This piece didn’t explain how the animals dig through the snow for food, pulling back the insulation of snow and exposing the ground to freezing temperatures.
@@christinearmington exacly the same as mooses and deers do.
every country should fund this
Ja
Absolutely✔
Aggreed
but the trees and mosses grew into the mammoth steppe even though the megafauna were still abundant, it wasnt until shortly after that happened that the megafauna started to collapse. the same thing happened 130,000 years ago at the start of the eemian which was around 1.2 degrees C warmer than now which nearly made the mammoth steppe and mammoths and other animals which were in that habitat extinct, happened 14800 years ago and 11600 years ago as well

Damn! Dude is hard as nails 💪
I acknowledge my bias of wanting to see ancient grasslands with huge healthy heards of grazing mammoths, but I think this man is an absolute genius
Drastic times call for drastic measures
2:50 amazing how calm the interviewer is with the 1000000 mosquitoes around.
Russia.. can have a lot of mosquitoes
I wonder if that's actually natural? Did the Mammoth Steppes have that many mosquitoes, or is this overabudance also due to the ecological damage caused by eliminating most of the large animals? It will be interesting to see if a more diverse restored ecosystem has more mosquito predators.
@@DonnaFernstrom Not really, it is not. Now here, in Sibiria, are no animals to eat moss, so water accumulates under the moss and swamps are formed. Where there is a swamp, there are mosquitoes. In fact, this ecosystem is not natural to this area. Sergei Zimov talked a lot about this in his lectures, alas, almost all of these lectures are in russian language.

Countries may have their own differences but scientists are all on the same team.
So Reznov escaped Vorkuta to go start a nature reserve to help the environment?
Damn Black Ops lore took a turn
Such a fascinating concept!
Not concept, it's a fact
Well yup, and pine trees have been inching if not gone up by feet more north for years. Yup, their dark pine needles, been melting snow and doing this for years, but are speeding up pace lately.
the un needs to fund this
Apparently some institution is being funded 15million to make a mammoth
I absolutely agree with the man. In previous climate changes nature natural migrated to areas that were suitable for growth. However, that took thousands of years. Not withstanding the pains of darwinism genetic adaption. By identifying the locations where life will become more suitable for growth, the human race owes this planet to accelerate this process. This can be done by transplanting plants and animals that will strive. Essentially terra forming the earth over time through a universal system of state parks, national forest and preserved natural areas.
This is the key to surviving the impending climate change. Combined with other worldwide climate change initiaves, mankind can truly mend the damage we caused.
Nope too late

I think it’s a great idea they were talking about doing this in the 90s
here we are 20 years later and we still haven’t done it 🤷🏻♂️
The world is warming up
🔥

I like the heat you can always cool off, but when it gets cold you need fuel to make heat.
I'm sure the solution to this problem would be destroy capitalism. I hope everyone understands. I'm being sarcastic.
This reporter couldn't help but insert a pun into every sentence haha
An Ice Age Park????? Instant bucket list addition! We need onr in Northern Canada...
Well 7 more years till we see Sid and manfred 🤞🏻
been 4 years man.
Joe Rogan brought me here. Amazing year 2024 is going to be.
The permafrost has not been frozen as the host says for "hundreds of thousands of years". Its been frozen for about 13,000 years. Siberia was boreal forest during the Pleistocene, it was NOT permafrost. Seems like a pretty easy thing to get right for such a respected source of news.
6:12... what a shot... :)
if we believed you it would be 500 degrees by now
It's a gradual process till the point of no return :)
The fact that Ice Ages have happened before is proof in itself that climate change can happen again, in the vein of hurricanes and other forces of nature.
People act as if the last 10,000 years were all that's ever happened, but it is only 1% of human history (315,000+ years in total for modern humans).
CO2 in the atmosphere has gone from .03 to .04 percent in the past 30 years. I could use a little warmer weather.
I thought, East Siberia was a polar desert in the Pleistocene. Wasn't it?
Probably not, if it was any similar to contemporary Alaska (which was part of the mammoth steppe).
Around what is now Fairbanks, 94-98% of the known fauna were grazers (mainly bison, horses, mammoths and two muskox species).
Woolly rhino remains are known from eastern Siberia but they have yet to be found in Alaskan soil (I hope one can be eventually found there).
Did anyone else click on this because the thumbnail showed a yeti standing there
The journo’s lack of compassion to work being done seems biased. It’s because of folk like this that the work is left to the side, and undertaken by those who have no choice but to dedicate their lives and the lives of their families to it. Thankfully the work is being done. Regardless
calls the scientist a madman, when before he said that, he presented him doing normal human things like eating, smoking, drinking and laying down to think.
I don't understand how you can reintroduce an animal and expect it to help the permafrost stay frozen. That was the original problem introduced in the video, right? And the solution is to bring back the woolly mammoth? What am I missing?
watch "The Plan to Revive the Mammoth Steppe to Fight Climate Change" from Atlas Pro
That guy must have let His hair grow out for years.
Scott Pelly is the actual extinct creature in this story.....
Younger Dryas Comet. Not hunters.
Actually, when I hear the word "Siberia" I think of ice and snow.
In fact, the climate in Siberia is the same as in Canada at the same latitudes.
A LOT of assumptions and one of them is that all of this is correct. One person's calculations and assumptions don't mean that all of this is accurate or correct. Lets hear other people's assertions about this...
It sounds like they're going to have to bring back the ecosystem of animals including tigers/ lions because otherwise it will be out of balance
Yes it is alredy to late we can only slow things down and that is if we do EVERYTHING WE CAN and that is not going to happen. So stand back and invest in absolute crazy weather every where in the world. There are completely colaps holes in Siberia that can completely consume the average American small town and there is now going back.😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
This father son team are pardot and liet kynes
this story was disappointing. Why was there no measuring the assets and liabilities of the ideas of animals grazing as somehow having less of a carbon footprint than the possibility of permafrost thaw?
Outlaw vehicles then if its that bad
AND PROBABLY OUT OF SHAPE.
Sregie!! The golden rule of minecraft!! Dont dig straight down my man.
Too late to fix
We will still keep going. It’s not too late.

According to the US Government... Ha, Ha haaaa, I new to stop right there!
Cut the tree to cool the climate. Nice solution
I don't see how getting rid of the trees adds to permafrost. I would think tree cover would produce more shade and offer a cooling effect.
This video does not give a thorough explanation. There's two things that need to be happening in conjunction. The trees have to be replaced with not just grass, but heavily grazed grassland. The animals trample down the snow blanket from being multiple feet thick all winter to inches thick. It seems counter intuitive, but a very thick snow blanket actually insulates the soil from achieving a deep freeze. So the animals cause the soil to freeze deeper in the winter and it retains that freeze longer through the warm months. Also the resulting grass root growth in the summer is an even better carbon sink than trees. Please look into how heavily grazed savanna grasslands capture more carbon than forests, because they do.
@@chipwalter4490 Oh that's really cool, I hope they're able to succeed in bringing back those grasslands and animals. I think there needs to be an international treaty that really amps up climate and environmental efforts worldwide. We're currently teetering on the edge of a cliff and it makes me very uneasy...
@@scottm2553 Atlas Pro has a recent video on this, with graphs and explanations, you can check his channel.
@@weed...5692 Just watched it. It was awesome, thanks!
@@scottm2553 Basically because grasses grow so fast they push the organic material down when it's decaying rather than trees that store carbon in their trunks and then release it when they decay. That whole landscape would have been grassland until starting 15,000 years ago there was a mass extinction of megafauna. Up until then for millions of years it would have had very similar animals to Africa only bigger in many cases. Basically it was like a cold savannah landscape, very productive. The trees that replaced it have very little value as their pines are not edible for any animals really. They are also discovering that a lack of large herds of grazers in Africa is leading to increasingly desertification. The rewinding efforts in yellowstone have had quite positive impacts also. Here in Scotland we have long had issues with red deer causing damage due to overpopulation so they must be kept in check. Some wish to bring back wolves to more remote areas.
Psy-ence
Have you ever thought maybe the inside of the earth is getting hotter??
... what lol
🇷🇺 👎
Humans.. Constantly trying to influence the natural behaviour of our planet...
Sickening
what about it
WOW< I cant wait to see a real live Woolly Mammoth! He can fund it just by having tours... I'd pay for a tour !
Hmmm....kinda sounds like a plot for a movie. What could go wrong?
@@bethgoldman2560 mommoths are plant eaters. And we have fences.
@@bethgoldman2560 dude seriously Not cool
@@bethgoldman2560 Folks think mammoths were giants, but they weren't any larger than existing elephants, so I'm pretty sure the answer is 'nothing.' lol
@@DonnaFernstrom yeah the wooly mamoth is just about the size of a bull African bush elephant...its not like we are bringing back palaeoloxodon namadicus
Stop calling these innovative scientists “crazy”, having people who think outside the box is our only hope to save ourselves from ourselves.
Too late already
Exactly!!! Who else dedicates as much time to observing and inferring AND testing?
@@Azamat421Sadly, that is a solid hypothesis. 8.25 billion variables
Thank you for putting the full stories online. People need to see this stuff
These American conservatives can't imagine his vision. I support Pleistocene park
He's being a journalist, he's asking questions and allowing Sergei and his crew to convince the audience or not. What's wrong with not agreeing on everything?
There wasn't a conservative in the entire program. Did you mean conservationists? Science is philosophically (as opposed to politically) conservative. They don't just jump on something because it sounds cool. They have to see the research and the research must be able to be duplicated by others. What he is proposing is not only beyond the current limits of science but would require an investment of billions of dollars. Therefore the "conservative" approach is fully warranted.
Imagination is what it takes to make completely baseless claims 🌈
@@dwreal I can't tell if you're with us or against pliestoscene Park
That was fascinating!
OMG .. . I think he's on to something !
Nicolaj Nielsen if we bring mammoths back pepole are gona hunt them for tusks and they go extinct again 😓
@Julian i think the same, is less work, just need to pick them up from the beach or the forest
@@Crazy_Rabbids they'll probably be protected like white rihnoes are
The video had me convinced. If the permafrost is warming, and microbes are now sitting there eating all the fossils of which didn't happen in the last hundred thousand years, that's a problem.
Especially the greenhouse gasses, I saw a video of someone who drilling into the ice then lit it with a lighter and it was just a long strand of blueish flame
We need more CO2 to prevent human extinction.
All scientists once said the earth was flat . Sergei has given a solution , to mock him just leaves more space on the face for egg.
All scientists have not said that lol
how condescending is the narrator, when the shows already been dumded down for an American audience
That idiot had a hidden agenda, is probably stuck with cold war mentality
I am more touched by the fact that he passed his passion and cause to his son. 😻😻😻😻 we should teach our kids about this and make them care.
Sergey reminds me a lot of Charles Bukowski. Same mannerisms.
what

Thanks for the video !
Omg so little views. Good to be knowledgeable of how the world is despair
@MrFattyfatfatboy loo
Only one view and already four thumbs up? LOL

Вот пример настоящего пассионария!
In the near future they will no more snow at north and south poles. It will become original earth like dinosaur era
Notice the swarms of arctic mosquitos. They are relentless
Great video! Eye opening! I had a strange apparition. To anyone else does the scientist at 11:46 to 12:24 remind you of Bobby Fischer when he was that age, the famous chess player? It almost seems like maybe they were relatives.
Ya never know, could be distantly related and thus a spiritual child as well. Ya never know what your ancestory contains, unless ya have a good family keeper and ancestry looker upper/s. 😎😉
@@razorransom1795 Hi Razor! I remember my comment but didn't know where I'd left it! Also the YT system doesn't always alert me when a reply happens. Thanks for your wise input! I don't know what Bobby's nationality was, but those moments in this documentary really immediately struck me when that scientist spoke and the last thing on earth that was on my mind then was Bobby. It's strange because even the nuances of his facial movements, his eyes, everything seems so unreal and like Bobby! I'm only amateur and did some family genealogy, a streak I had about 10 yrs ago. I also think too at times people of the same nationality can look like brothers and sisters etc. but really feel this likeness is extraordinary. Someone should do a video and line up their faces as they both speak when Bobby was this gentleman's age, yet by that time Bobby I think was not in good health and not eating right and a lot of other problems. See I wonder if this guy's friends and family have ever said how much he looks like Bobby, and more than that, even his voice and mannerisms. I think to the younger folks of today they probably don't know much if anything about Bobby. I had a Bobby Fischer streak and really enjoyed all the documentaries and interviews with him, also too a sad, very sad, story. I think Bobby, like other great minds in history, like Nikola Tesla, Einstein... all could have shared secrets to how their thought processes transpired... also that guy from India who was the math genius. I think they really had other things never touched on that would have influenced humanity. Life is fascinating!

So it’s been 3 years… where are the cloned mammoths?
Man, I couldn't do the bugs there or the temperatures.
The white beret really lends to his credibility. I take my advice from Eva Gardner circa 1933
I'm sorry but this whole piece is junk science.
There may seem to be something to it. Supposedly the rate of melting permafrost has slowed within the park's borders as opposed to the surrounding land.
His idea with the mammoth reminds me of how modern elephants clear trees and create grasslands in Africa.
At minimum it would allow us to peek into the past!
maybe we don't want any more pathogens on the loose!
Resurrect an extinct animal at all costs
We need mammoths.
Awesome can't wait to ride one!
Creative ability allows us to think outside the box and to combine options that others will not allow themselves.
Science needs controversial ideas, not complacency or comfort. Science needs to be pushed forward, scientists and their ideas need to be challenged. When science grows stagnant it becomes dangerous close to religion.
this was in 2019. now in 2021. siberia is burning with rampant wild fires. on par or greater than the entirety of the United States fire season in a year, by july.
When those trees are dead, maybe ashed will fertilize grasses to grow again and attract some herbivores....
The future of earth for humans my guess questionable we destroyed it
Then lets fix it
We all know that earth has a life span, It either will fully drown or natural disasters will destroy everything. So there is no escaping destiny !
In Russia people can buy pumas, maybe they can use pumas to replace the lions.
Siberian tigers are a more reasonable choice.
@@DonnaFernstrom I wonder if putting all these animals together like this will make them evolve into more iconic Pleistocene megafauna forms. A tiger could evolve saberteeth to cut through thick-necked megafauna arteries.
@@kathyl9222 First they need 500-1000 herbivore animals in the park before they can introduce some carnivores... Tigers or wolves, they will think about it later, but for sure they need a lot more herbivores to trample the snow... And people from US and Canada can help if they know people who can help with transporting larger herd of Alaskan bison to this park.
Bison from Sweden they bought almost all died off in the arctic conditions...
Cuando los Romanos conquistaban y civilizavan germanía, aún existían y vivían grupos de Mamut en el norte de Siberia !!.
Pero aparentemente se los comieron, yo leí hace mucho tiempo atrás que eso fue lo que pasó al caballo y mamut en norte América,en tiempos remotos. los indígenas los cazaron hasta la extinción, y fue de ahí que ellos se dieron cuenta del daño que causaron y para pedir perdón a la madre Tierra empezaron a coexistir con sus ciclos y respetando la vida de los animales que son parte de ella.. en los años 70 y 80 se encontró el esqueleto de un Mamut en las montañas del Norte de Nicaragua, me pregunto si fue por la presión de la caza que llegó hasta allá?
its only 13 mins :(
Assuming humans are the reason for Mammoths and Bison extinction may be a mis step... younger dryas...
Very strange that the most part of information about this project broadcast by English-american sources.
These guys are legit
I feel cheated. This wasn't 60 minutes but only 13:38. What a rip off.
