The World Has Gone to Seed

f the so-called Doomsday Vault didn't exist, someone would have to invent it -- probably a science fiction writer. Buried beneath Arctic permafrost on a remote Norwegian island, the secured, remotely monitored vault has been built to withstand everything from global warming to nuclear war.
