      Maybe put the data center up north in a Nordic or Scandinavian country?

          We don’t want that here either.

          A 9° increase will fuck us and our surroundings over just as well as anywhere else.

              I was thinking we put one massive data center on Greenland to thaw out the ice sheet.

                  But the vault shifts with the ice 🧊? Soon all the seeds will float away… 🏝️

                      Seed vaults are built into bedrock
