      I don’t care any more. It’s not like the world could be more fucked. Wooly mammoths, I’m here for it.

      Seriously though, between climate change’s heating, the tornadoes and the wildfires a lot of species are toast. And if we want to bring carbon back under control at this point (with the sea now releasing it instead of containing it), we’ll need some kind of genetically engineered plants. So, given all these things, there’s no reason to say no to mammoths, bring it.

    It’s all fun and games until they come back meaner and more bloodthirsty than history could even imagine.

    Well, it was supposed to be humor… I guess next time I won’t forget the /s.
