Australian scientists will build a black box of Earth – an indestructible recorder who will record these decades of human civilization in case of death due to a global climate catastrophe. Reports about it ABC.
It will be installed on the West Coast of the Australian Island of Tasmania by the end of 2022. The task of the box is the documentary fixation of all the steps of mankind bringing it to an ecological catastrophe. The recorder makes for future residents of the planet so that they can understand the reason for the disappearance of civilization.
The box size will be comparable to the size of the city bus. Data drives will be inside it, which record information about the change in carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and the average annual temperature in various regions of the planet. Energy recorder will receive from solar panels. The box will collect on the Internet data on global warming in online mode.
“If the earth is really irreversibly changed as a result of global warming, this non-deepeble recorder will allow for those who remain, to extract a lesson from what happened. In addition, he [Black Box] will be evidenced by the responsibility of world leaders for what happened, their Actions or inaction will be recorded, “said Jim Curtis.
The construction of the recorder will begin in 2022, but the necessary data is collected now. The first information in the box will be information about the UN climate conference in Glasgow.
“We plan to use several encoding formats and study the possibility of integrating a special reader, which can be activated by placing on the sunlight,” scientists told.
In November after two weeks of discussion, the participants of the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention agreed on the text of its final statement. Diplomats from almost 200 countries have committed themselves to reduce carbon emissions, abandon some types of fossil fuels and increase the help of poor countries on the advanced climate change.
The climate conference was supposed to be held in Scottish Glasgow from October 31 to November 12, however, the event was extended for a day due to contradictions between delegations.
