socialpyramid discovered 10 months ago- Incredible new seed vault being built near the North Pole, to save the world's crops in a doomsday situation. Gates Foundation is one of the underwriters.

- building a vault for seeds near the northpole seems strange, but as they say in the article, one has to take care.

- At least someone is thinking ahead. Shame it isn't the US. The seed vault in Svalbard, northern Sweden, is cataloguing and storing every type of seed known to man in preparation for the coming catastrophic climate changes and the ensuing resultant famines.

- From the page: "Engineers last week finished work on one of the world's most ambitious conservation projects: a doomsday vault carved into a frozen mountainside in the archipelago of Svalbard, a few hundred miles from the North Pole. Over the next few weeks, the huge cavern - backed by the Norwegian government and the Gates Foundation - will be filled with more than a million types of seed and will be officially opened in February next year."
