Solving for Climate

The co-founder of Colossal Biosciences makes the climate case for bringing back extinct species like the woolly mammoth and the dodo. Colossal say de-extinction through gene editing techniques could have positive impacts for conservation and improving biodiversity. But the environment has changed completely since mammoths roamed the earth, so we’ll examine how realistic those climate claims are.Season five of Solving for Climate is sponsored by Xlinks xlinks.coPodcast transcripts available on SubstackBen Lamm, co-founder Colossal BiosciencesCo-hosts Hannah Ritchie, Deputy Editor and Lead Researcher, Our World in Data @_HannahRitchie Rob Stewart, Co-founder Stealth AI startupSubscribe to Hannah's Substack 'Sustainability by numbers'Want to get in touch?
