Australia – A team of Australian scientists is designing a steel block that captures data regarding our planet, called “Earth’s Black Box,” constantly documenting climate change and providing a “narrative of the events” that led to the Earth’s demise.
The “Black Box” will provide a document explaining how humanity will fail to avoid climate catastrophe (if it occurs).
Australian marketing company Clemenger BBDO is leading this ambitious project, in collaboration with the University of Tasmania.
Construction will begin and end in 2024, said Sonia von Bibra, head of national production at Clemenger BBDO.
Originally, the black box for the land was announced in December 2021, with construction to begin the following year, but the project was postponed.
Von Bebra explained that “donors stand ready” to provide funds to begin construction, but she is waiting for the Australian Taxation Office to approve the request.
The location of the “box” is said to be 4 hours from Hobart, somewhere near the west coast, between Strahan and Queenstown.
Experts say it will be similar to the “black box” in aviation, which records the performance and condition of the aircraft to provide vital information in the event of accidents.
The top of the box will be connected to solar panels, giving it a source of energy as long as the sun is shining.
Solar energy will download scientific data, including sea levels, temperatures, ocean acidification, atmospheric carbon dioxide, species extinctions and land use changes in different locations around the world.
The algorithm records climate change-related material using the Internet, such as newspaper headlines and social media posts.
The purpose of the Fund is to “provide an unbiased account of the events that led to the planet’s demise, hold future generations accountable and take urgent action.”
Experts say a small group of survivors may be able to learn more regarding the fall of civilization due to catastrophic fires, floods and drought.
Developers said Earth’s black box will have enough capacity to store data for the next 30 to 50 years, a key period in our quest to contain climate change.
