With regards to the Svalbard seed vault:
*An underlying problem was that permafrost around the entrance of the
vault, which had thawed from the heat of construction a decade ago, has not
re-frozen as predicted by scientists, Aschim said.*
*Temperatures in the Arctic region have been rising at twice the global
average in a quickening trend that climate scientists blame on man-made
greenhouse gases. Svalbard has sometimes had rain even in the depths of
winter when the sun does not rise.*
