The steel-constructed device, also known as Earth's "black box" and located in Tasmania, will soon record various types of information regarding temperature fluctuations and other indicators of climate change. Why a "black box"? Because it is similar to the so-called "black boxes" in aeroplanes. The website of the company that installed this object in Tasmania explains the purpose: "to provide an unbiased account of the events that lead to the planet's demise, hold accountability for future generations and inspire urgent action".
