Global Warming's Worst Nightmare

GLOBAL WARMING’S WORST NIGHTMARE

Perhaps you read about the “Doomsday Vault” for the world’s most vital seeds. Bombproof chambers, set into permafrost on a mountain on the Norwegian island of Svalbard, contain samples of about 250,000 seeds, which could be used to renew the planet after a global catastrophe—kind of a Noah’s Ark for plants, already landed on its Arctic Ararat.
It’s a good example of how interconnected the globe has become, that such a remote region could be tapped for such a vital role. But let’s not forget there’s another locale far in the Far North that contains a much less life-giving entity.
So far no one seems to have mentioned it, but if the Arctic gets too warm, the Blob could reappear. If you remember, this voracious hunk of extraterrestrial ectoplasm was never killed. By accident, someone who tried in desperation to fend the thing off with a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher discovered that the Blob couldn’t take cold. So it was chilled into hibernation, airlifted to Northern Canada, and dropped into presumed oblivion.
So there’s the conclusive danger of global warming. If the threat of the Blob getting loose doesn’t motivate the nations of the world to address climate change, what will?
