RE: Water leaked into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault after melting of permafrost in the area – the vault now needs to be upgraded in face of climate change!
It's kind of crazy that they didn't really think it could get that bad, that fast. Even the people who are preparing don't have a handle on how badly we're hurting our planet — and how could they? It's exponential.
I hope these guys bounce back hard... it's a fascinating and vital project. :(
I think someone must have made some miscalculations at some point. It seems really strange that they did not plan for the temperature increase at this point.
I think the Norwegian government is extremely interested in keeping this project going, so most likely the facility will be upgraded pretty quickly.
