For science fiction lovers a 21st century Ark

Panamanian global warming  and climate change believers  and  skeptics alike have been invited to join people around the world   in a space age archival project that on first reading sounds like an extract from a science fiction novel.

Decide for yourself.

Space Colony Earth has issued a call for volunteers in Panama to serve on selection teams to determine what information will be stored in their Earth ARKhives.

A press release says The Digital ARKhive portion of the Earth ARKhives will contain science, technology, history and art information deemed critical to be saved in the event of a regional or global catastrophic event. The Living ARKhive includes a repository of DNA from people, animals, plants, and essential microbes.

“This is a global project,” said Steve Lynch, founder and CEO of Space Colony Earth, “and requires people in every country to ensure the credibility and inclusiveness of the Earth ARKhives.”

Nearly 1,300 selection teams are being formed to develop the Digital ARKhives. Selection teams will determine what information is critical and to be saved. Their recommendations will be forwarded to selection committees that will review the recommendations and make a final determination. As final selection is made by the committee, that information will be forwarded to the Space Colony Earth archivist team who will retrieve, organize and store the information.

“Some have suggested we simply use Wikipedia to collect the information,” said Lynch, “but as great a resource as they are, we are requiring all information to be selected texts, peer reviewed papers, etc., to guarantee credibility of the ARKhives.”
