Fortress of Solitude to be Built in Arctic

An Arctic "doomsday vault" aimed at providing mankind with food in case of a global catastrophe will be designed to sustain the effects of climate change, the project's builders said as they unveiled the architectural plans.
The top-security repository, carved into the permafrost of a mountain in the remote Svalbard archipelago near the North Pole, will preserve some three million batches of seeds from all known varieties of the planet's crops.

I demand an environmental impact study.

4 Idiots is right. They claim the polar ice sheets are melting away and what do they do? Build a "repository" on permafrost.

6 The articles seem to be spinning it as a response to global warming but
I thought they originally conceived it being built it for a comet
strike or plague.
