When I watched the TED talk, I really didn't think that the problem he introduced was as big as he made it seem. I think that it is important that we try our best not to interfere too much with the natural world. If a species is going to die out, we must let it die out. I think it is a cool idea to try and keep as many seeds and as many species alive as we can, but we must do this by not interferring with the places they grow naturally. I think this video explains it perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eScDfYzMEEw
When the guy in the TED talks also started to talk about the climate changes, I was also not impressed. Our planet has gone through centuries of climate changes including an ice age and still survived. Not to mention, humans have only been involved in heavy industry for 200 years compared to the 4 billion years that the planet has been here. I do not believe that climate changes are a huge threat to the world considering our world has gone through many climate changes in the past. Climate changes are natural and not just because of humans.
Although I did not totally agree with the TED talk, I thought the article abot the "seed vault" was very cool. I think it si a great idea to store seeds just incase we need them for the future. Its not intererring with life, but it is making sure we still have control. I think it will definitely come in handy.
