Norwegian Seed Hoarding

I know they mean well:

'Doomsday vault' to resist global warming effects
"We have taken into consideration the (outside) temperature rising and have located the facility so far inside the rock that it will be in permafrost and won't be affected" by the outside temperature, Magnus Bredeli Tveiten, project manager at Norway's Directorate of Public Construction and Property, told AFP.
So let the north winds blow. We can stand a rise of 0.8º C, no problem, 0.9º C even.

Seems like a harmless initiative.

Is there something special that they know about that makes this an urgent priority?
