Doomsday Vault

Heard of the the Svalbard International Seed Vault?
Well those cunning Scandanavians are up to some good trying to save biodiversity on the planet. Dubbed the "doomsday vault," it will house samples of every variety of crop seed available in every country in the world. The vault's purpose is safeguard agricultural biodiversity in the event that nuclear war, climate change, a meteor hit or another Earth-shattering event destroys all current plant life in the world or in a particular region.
Thats approaching global warming from the other direction.
