Does anyone know more about the construction details on this and provisions made for the above-stated?

The other thing to keep in mind is that even the idea itself spells out how truly dire some of the most powerful people in the world now view our present situation. This isn’t a “high-profile” cause, and it isn’t a feel-good cause. This seed bank goes against everything the modern agricultural and food industries stand for. This project originated in a cloud of secrecy, and wasn’t funded with taxpayer monies. That tells me that the people involved are not altruistic and cautiously optimistic….they’re flat out scared.

And if “in the event of global catastrophe” we suddenly need this (if we’re still here), doesn’t anyone involved with this project (hopefully some biologists, geologists, etc) think that there will be other reasons as to why our plants (and their seeds) magically disappeared – like unstable soils, changing weather, droughts, floods, etc? Or am I confused on the definition of “global catastrophe”?

One final thing…how much energy does this building take to store these seeds and how much energy and destruction did it take to run the electricity lines to the building (in the middle of frozen nowhere) and keep the lights on? Whatever happened to the “time capsule” concept where we could bury something we wanted to find years later in a non-energy using, non-oversized (building) box?

This, to me, is more proof that humans insist on trudging along trying to solve the problems we’ve created with technology and *more* with…technology and *more*. Einstein was way ahead of his time – we can’t solve the problems with the same thinking that caused them to begin with!

This seed vault, meant to protect against global catastrophe, has taken how many years to get built? 30? ….really?

And this is supposed to encourage confidence? Here’s the deal: If we as six billion humans on planet (spaceship) earth get to the point where something like this seed vault is vital, well, there won’t be six billion of us for long. So, how exactly does this help four billion people? You might say all kinds of things, and you might be right, to a degree.

But really, the answer is pretty much that IT WILL DO NO GOOD FOR MOST OF HUMANITY! If we are ever at this point of needing what’s inside there, that means that however many of us have survived whatever badness led to such a point need seeds to grow our food, asap. Thats enough seeds for how many billions? Yeah.

So, point is, some folks might get very good use outta this place, but in the grand view, its not much help.

Further, it should be alarming. In reality, it represents further iniquity. Ya’ll got your fancy seed vaults set up in (everywhere thats poor), right?
