Fighting Climate Change with AI
MANY OF THE core challenges—and solutions—of the climate crisis have been clear to scientists for decades. It boils down to this: The planet is warming, most likely as the direct result of increased carbon dioxide and methane emissions that began to rise sharply at the outset of the industrial revolution. The clearest solution has long been for the nations of our world to come together to develop and implement new technologies and strategies that could reduce our dependency on the fossil-fuel consumption most responsible for those emissions. And the path to get there requires that leaders around the world understand the imminent effects of climate change—so they can make informed decisions that better protect their people and places from physical and socioeconomic risks.
