- Summary:
- A report on Sergey Zimov, a Russian geophysicist, who decades ago warned that frozen soil -- permafrost -- contained enough greenhouse gas to pose a threat to the climate if it ever melted. Now that global warming is thawing the Arctic permafrost, Zimov hopes to recreate the Ice Age in an area he named Pleistocene Park in Siberia. The Zimovs project aims to cool the permafrost by returning the land to its Ice Age appearance and reviving the extinct woolly mammoth using DNA. Interviewed: Sergey Zimov; Max Holmes, leading climate scientist and deputy director at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts; Nikita Zimov, Sergey's son; George Church, geneticist at Harvard University, who is assisting the Zimovs.
