This is the quintessence of science that should not be done just because you can. These pseudo rationales about re-wilding the arctic are just rubbish, they are doing it because they can and because they want some sort of scientific kudos.
Who is stupid enough to give them the money? Probably Softbank Vision Fund or someone thoughtless with too much money like that.
At least there will be a coalition of animal rights, environmentalists, and normal people to kick their asses and hopefully stop it.
