A mind-boggling news, a giant earth's black box intended as a blueprint for a post-apocalyptic society has started to record the earth's climate change activities.

For those who have seen Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece from 1968 "2001: A Space Odyssey" may be imagining an imposing black monolith standing still in the middle of a desert. The reality is actually not far from it, the 10x4x3 metre black slab of steel will be built in Tasmania, Australia, to record hundreds of data sets, measurements and interactions relating to the health of our planet.

But it brought up a question on its relevance in today's life. Will it help the world meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal and move from commitment to action? Will you change your behaviour knowing that your activities are being recorded?
