Whenever I hear a phrase with Gaian overtones like “joyful biodiverse” the only thing I can think of is Werner Herzog “nature is murder” monologue

This is one of the saddest things in the world - the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. We should be preserving genetic diversity in our food plants through joyful biodiverse cultivation, instead we have a grim and vulnerable system of corporate monocultures

A glance at this guy's feed, it's nothing but his own preferences bleeding into his planet advocacy (harming the message) The seed-bank is one of the rare proactive steps we took to avert disaster... and he began by whining it was preserving the wrong things (like what he grows)

The saddest thing isn't that we have a seed vault built into the permafrost to ensure integrity for 10,000 years. It's that the permafrost is melting.
