The flooding of the global seed-vault at the most northerly of Earth city locales (at Svalbard) due to global warming accentuates the real value in locating a second facility on the moon or Mars where it would stand a real chance for survival. It should additionally have genome samples from all of the world's organisms so that they might be duplicated too because of other anthropocene era insults to life bringing the present mass extinction.
Science and space programs could use a targeted facility on the moon and MArs for storage and for research. The life vaults could also serve as material for adapting Earth life to lifeless worlds and moons around the solar system
The melting of permafrost was well-known decades ago and lots of other problems may arise. People tend to underestimate the power of their own advancing destruction of the ecosphere and changes of climate factors.
