Half of Americans like universal basic income--and they want AI companies to pay for it

Forecasts suggest that by 2022 there's an outside chance we'll experience temperatures that exceed a target of the Paris climate agreement. Warming as usual: The Met Office, the UK's weather and climate forecasting organization, says its latest forecasts suggest that annual global average temperatures are likely to exceed 1 C above preindustrial levels over the next five years. A troubling outlier: The forecasts also give a 10 percent chance at least one of the next five years will see a global average temperature 1.5 C above preindustrial levels. Such an occurrence is likely to coincide with an El Niño weather event. Why it matters: The Paris agreement aims to limit average global temperature rises to less than 2 C, or ideally 1.5 C, above preindustrial levels.
