let's see now....poking a hole in the ground from which we get zillions of gallons of oil is a bad idea......however poking a hole in the ground to store a bunch of seeds is a good idea.....O.K...now I understand
I think understanding the globably warming affects is like trying to understand the rules of a game invented by a 4 year old. Yo know the type. The rules keep changing so they always win.

Follow the money. Who gets the contract for building such a vault.. Surely not Halliburton.

I'm glad somebody does.....
Now.....
Would you mind explaining it to me?
I'm still a little confused about it.......
me too...just finished watching in the central time zone...I thought it was well done, convinced me that cooling was a greater threat, especially from volcanos...I don't recall anything said about global warming, which may well be welcome, if a volcano explodes....
Its already been built in Louisiana. Just take a look at Congressman Jefferson's refrigerator.
Nah, its kind of like Superman's Fortress of Solitude!
The ice walls stay up no matter what becuase they are made out of carbonite...Oh, that was Star Wars, I keep getting my science fiction mixed up with this global warming fiction.
Also, they will have back issues of Gent, Juggs and Swank hidden up there in case of the apocolypse!
If GW exists, it is going to have to go on for a very long time to melt through 130 feet of permafrost. At that point we would probably have other worries than a seed bank not being viable.
LOL!
It wii have to be designed withstand an additional 5 degrees F! It will have to withstand another 200 ppm CO2!
My gosh, they might have to use corregated cardboard for this one.
Now that they have "established" climate change, they are figuring out how to cash in on it. Frozen C02, caches of food -- there's big bucks to be made in "preparing" for the end of the world.
Preserving genetic samples of various things - and periodically checking to make sure everything is not just dead/degraded, is a pretty good idea. We should probably do this for reasons having nothing to do with "Global Warming". There should probably be several of these facilities in places that require little power to maintain.
Did someone do an environmental impact study? How many Polar Bears will die?
They'd better double the security when oil gets back down close to $50 again or the Prez will try to fill that up with oil too.
Millions and millions of seeds after global climate change and their entire country is under a sheet of ice...
"will be designed to sustain the effects of climate change,"
Where in the world are the grammar police when you need them?
I'd want a vault to sustain food, people, seeds, and such in case of climate change - if the vault is going to sustain the effects of climate change, doesn't that mean that it will perpetuate the cooling or warming?????????????
