ICYMI: Australian scientists and artists are looking to hold the world accountable for the Earth's future by creating an 'indestructible' storage device to record humanity's handling of the climate change crisis
MELBOURNE, Dec 7 - Australian scientists and artists are looking to hold the world accountable for the Earth's future by creating an "indestructible" storage device to record humanity's handling of the climate change crisis.
It comes after U.N. climate talks in Glasgow ended last month with a deal that kept alive hopes of capping global warming at 1.5 Celsius."Earth Black Box is a structure and device that will record every step that humanity takes towards or away from the impending climate catastrophe," said Jim Curtis, the executive creative director at Clemenger BBDO, which came up with the idea for the black box.
"If the worst is to happen and as a civilization we crash as a result of climate change, this indestructible box will be there and will record every detail of that," Curtis said.The 10-metre-long steel monolith was designed to withstand natural disasters and will be powered by solar and thermal energy.
