It's nice to see the climate cult get serious about building holy sites of worship.
First, there was the new Notre-Dame Cathedral. Now, there's this black box in middle-of-nowhere Tasmania.
An indestructible "black box" is set to be built upon a granite plain on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia, in early 2022. Its mission: Record "every step we take" toward climate catastrophe, providing a record for future civilizations to understand what caused our demise, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The project, led by marketing communications company Clemenger BBDO in collaboration with University of Tasmania researchers, is currently in beta and has already begun collecting information at its website.
Whatever will we do, lads?
The oceans – where all the rich climate prophets currently own beachfront property – might rise a little bit over the next century. Things might get a bit warmer before they get cooler, and then warmer again, and then cooler again. We might need to come up with better sources of energy and waste management over the course of a few hundred years.
Then there's all that data that shows stuff like this:
Humanity is doomed.
The structure is designed to be about the size of a city bus, made of 3-inch-thick steel and topped with solar panels. Its interior will be filled with "storage drives" that gather climate change-related data such as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and average temperatures. In addition, using an algorithm, it will scour the web for tweets, posts, news and headlines.
The developers estimate that storage will run out in 30 to 50 years, according to the ABC. There are plans to increase the storage capacity and provide a more long-term solution, but it's unclear how the structure will be maintained -- how its solar panels might be replaced before the end of civilization, how well those drives hold up after decades and how impervious the vault will be to vandalism or sabotage. Its remote location, around four hours from the closest major city, is one deterrent -- but will that be enough?
Yeah, putting shiny monoliths in the middle of deserted areas isn't the best long-term strategies, my bros!
