Cisco, NASA Plan 'Planetary Skin' For Monitoring Earth Climate
Slatterz writes "Cisco has inked a deal with NASA to build a new global system for tracking climate change. Dubbed 'Planetary Skin,' the network platform will connect a number of sensor and recording units throughout the planet in an effort to gather data for monitoring and tracking changes to the global climate. The company plans to begin building the system next year with a program called 'Rainforest Skin' which will track both climate change and deforestation in rainforest environments. Eventually, the company plans to take the system throughout the planet and create a global network of data-collecting systems for the project. A podcast and a video explain the project in further detail."
Will it run Linux?
Imagine a beowolf cluster of these...
In Soviet Russia, climate monitors your skin
We're sure to have an answer to climate change soon, now that NASA has some skin in the game...
1. notice the talk about climate change ....
2. get some skin in the game
3.
4. profit
If we could just terra-form this planet and make it suitable for.... oh wait, never-mind.
Seriously, what is the world going to do when they figure out that humans didn't do it, can't fix it, and we're in for 250 years of icy weather? Think about it. If they figure out that the flip of the magnetosphere will cause dramatic climate change, wtf are we supposed to do? Or, if that combined with the breeding patterns of small red crustaceans in the Mediterranean are causing global warming and the last breeding pair of such crustaceans was destroyed 24 months ago for a dinner meeting by the UN on climate control?
