Scientists bring back the Mammoth. Just in time for ice age!

So I am watching CBS nightly news tonite and they have a story on how scientists are going to use some old mammoth hair to reconfigure some elephant DNA aka jurassic park but actually possible.

I think climate change is real (not because of a carbon foot print:ham and that we are headed right into an ice age. I didnt post this on ATS cause im not really here to argue anything I just wanted to say that WOW its going to be EPIC irony when humans master technology enough to bring back a mammoth just in time for the coming ice age :bnghd:

rock on mammoth you rock.

I know several different groups have been attempting this ,I hope they succeed
I would love to see some mammoths tromping around

I guess they really believe they can pull this off takes two years to make an elephant ,! Hurry up guys!

yeah I hear that I have always wondered why evolutionary advancement would make the elephants gestation period 2 years thats just crazy!

Yeah snuffaluffagus [sic] was my favorite sesame street character, so I am with you on the "it would be cool to have some mammoths around" although they are probably going to be really hot, the hairless elephants are that way cause they headed for where it was warmer back in the day IMHO.
