Originally Published 1 year ago — by Daily Mail
Australian scientists are building Earth's Black Box, a 32-foot steel monolith in Tasmania filled with hard drives that will constantly document climate change and provide an unbiased account of events leading to Earth's demise. The project, led by marketing firm Clemenger BBDO and the University of Tasmania, aims to hold future generations accountable and inspire urgent action. The box will collect data on climate-related measurements and contextual information, and is set to be completed in 2024. Its purpose is to provide an unbiased account of events that lead to the demise of the planet, but accessing its data following a catastrophic climate apocalypse remains a challenge.
