📰Offbeat News Earth gets a "black box"

[Dopious]

The Earth will get a black box.

It will tell future generations about what led to a potential collapse – or how it was managed to be avoided.

A project called Earth's Black Box will document humanity's impact on Earth - and preserve information in case a global catastrophe occurs, writes CNN.

The large steel structure is being built in Tasmania and will continuously collect data on, among other things, climate change, carbon dioxide levels, biodiversity, energy use and world events.

The idea is that if humanity were to ever suffer a global catastrophe or collapse, future generations would be able to understand what happened and the decisions that led to it. If, on the other hand, the world manages to deal with the climate crisis, it will instead become a historical archive of how we got through it.

That's what I'm talking about.

Art + engineering + whole civilization's business.

Let's see what it says in 5 years from now

they won't be able to understand shit. If something bad happens to this planet it's because of what David Icke (and others like him) says in his videos. You, fellas, would do and believe anything before opening up your eyes to what's going on

the world manages to deal with the climate crisis,

there's no climate crisis. The weather extremes are caused by the evil bastards that rule this planet, and it's being done using the HAARP (High Aurora Advanced Research Project) technology that's been existing since 1993 if memory serves me well.

That's why we have tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting and all other catastrophes (it's psychopaths playing Gods with us, there is no climate crisis).

Aren't there things like that already?

The seed ban somewhere in Northern Europe.

Steles on how to restart humanity if something cataclysmic happens.
And time capsules with information of the time ??

The seed ban somewhere in Northern Europe.

Think you are thinking of the seed vault on Svalbard, this is nothing like that.

That seed vault is pretty awesome. I read about this years ago and thought it was a smart idea.
