Der Arctic Seed Vault zeigt die fehlerhafte Logik der Klimaanpassung – Die Schwierigkeiten des Saatgutlagers auf Spitzbergen verdeutlichen, warum wir Klimakatastrophen verhindern müssen, anstatt sie zu planen

SS: Naomi Oreskes points out some big flaws in the idea behind the Svalbard seed vault. Sure, it sounds great to stash seeds for a global crisis, but the vault itself was hit by flooding caused by climate change. Plus, the seeds might not even adapt to future conditions when we need them most. Instead of relying on this ‚insurance policy‘, she argues we should be doing everything we can to stop climate disaster before it happens.
What an idiotic argument.
„I won’t get car insurance, I’ll just stop crashing“
It’s better to have a backup than not.
Why not do both? If a climate plan doesn’t work, at the very least, something like this seed bank will maybe survive.
This argument is so idiotic – climate change is not the only disaster Earth is facing. There are super volcanoes or meteors that could cause temporary ice ages.
Maybe its just me but i think if a seed vault 130M above sea level floods as Oreskes is concerned about we are just about all fucked
Why are so many of these framed like a choice we don’t actually have?
We need to stop trying to prevent climate change and just ask the unicorns for help. /s
