I came across this article yesterday and couldnāt help but laugh at the irony that this vault was designed for the express purpose of being able to survive a terrible global calamity (such as nuclear war for example). Yet, it somehow isnāt equipped to handle the very real global calamity thatās actually happening RIGHT NOW (climate change)??
