In Eastern Siberia, above the Arctic Circle, Russian researchers are attempting to bring back landscapes not seen since mammoths roamed the Earth. At Pleistocene Park, they’ve fenced off 16 square kilometres and introduced bison, muskox, horses and other herbivores. They hope the animals’ grazing will transform the landscape into grassland, which will cool the underlying permafrost.
An employee of the Pleistocene Park leaves for holidays, outside the town of Chersky, in Yakutia Republic, Russia, Sept. 13, 2021.Ted Schuur, a professor at Northern Arizona University’s Center for Ecosystem Sciences and Society, said that in well-studied regions like Alaska, there’s evidence thawing permafrost is already releasing greenhouse gases. Although he acknowledged there’s less evidence from other regions.
Different grazing patterns have been shown to change land albedo elsewhere, he added. Norwegian reindeer herders use their side of the fenced border between Norway and Finland primarily in winter; in summer their side is dominated by white lichens that reflect sunlight. Finland’s much larger reindeer herds graze on the other side of the fence in summertime, eating the lichens and promoting a greener landscape.
“I don’t think there are any places in the park where we’re able to say, ‘We are done here,’” he said. “But I see that many places are in transition. Overall, the productivity is increasing.”
No this planet has a mind of its own and will do what it wants with us. Leave it alone. Faking scientists think they know it all

Canada considers tougher GHG rules for shipping in proposal at international meetingCanada is considering an international proposal that would double the ambition of its greenhouse gas emissions targets from shipping -- a plan observers say the country seems ready to support.

Fighting gas prices, U.S. to release 50 million barrels of oilU.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday ordered 50 million barrels of oil released from America's strategic reserve to help bring down energy costs, in coordination with other major energy consuming nations, including India, the United Kingdom and China. Duh, let’s introduce policies that limit supply to end O&G. We’ll get applause from the fringe. Uh-oh, our costs are going up? Let’s tap into our emergency supply to fix that for a day or two. Nothing like going forward without a plan. 🙄 barely 3 days supply 😆 oil is going up. Begging for votes. Energy independence and develop renewables. Oh and stop growing avocados, which require an ungodly amount of water, in a desert.
