Researchers are building a black box in Tasmania to prevent the 'crash' of civilization

The future of humanity is not certain. The environment is under tremendous pressure and it paints a dark picture for the future.
Climate change is a problem we face as a species, from rising sea levels to air and water pollution.

Black Box is a project that will launch this year to record data related to climate change. A black box is supposed to be installed on the west coast of Tasmania, 150 miles to the south of Australia.

The black box will record important data about climate change.
The data it records will be protected by a layer of steel almost three inches thick when it is operational.

Key climate data will be saved for the next 30 to 50 years.

The project is being carried out by the largest marketing communications company in Australia.

They want to increase accountability and engagement with climate change.

Despite the structure not being built yet, the team has begun recording data.

Ocean acidification, energy consumption, CO2 levels, and land and sea temperatures will be covered in the data that it will record. It will record information on important climate news, like major climate conferences.

When the sun isn't out, the black box will have a battery pack to support it.
The researchers are trying to fit the project with a "heartbeat" type sensor to see if it's working.

The creators think it will be able to save data for at least 30 to 50 years.
