Noah’s Bio Vault

I saw an article on Yahoo Green (where you even aware of this section? I wasn’t) about a Doomsday Vault (!) Wawaweewa, a Doomsday Vault? That‘s creepy! Basically, it’s a vault near the North Pole that will hold at least one of every seedling in the world. In case of worldwide disaster. Yikes. It sounds like something out of a movie. It kind of sounds like a dumb idea, because if something bad happens, to wipe out all the plants on Earth, what would make you think you could grow stuff if you just had more seeds? Clearly, all the plants are gone. Will there be bees to fertilize these new plants, nevermind people to plant them? I figure it was just the crazy Norweigians, who own the vault, being paranoid. Then it got weirder – there are vaults all around the world, but this is to replace “gene vaults in both Iraq and Afghanistan destroyed by war and a seed bank in the Philippines annihilated by a typhoon.” You mean other people thought this would be a good idea, too? So, all the plants are gone and we assume there is at least one person left to go get more seeds. How is this person supposed to get all the way to the North Pole? It’s not somewhere you can just take the M5 bus to, people. Or does this assume everything will be all melty and the walk to the North Pole will be a pleasant stroll (or swim)? Where’s Jake Gyllenhaal from that global warming movie , when you need him? Can I have a Mapquest route to this place, just in case it's just me that left and I'm hungry?
