Should Machine Learning Experts respond to Climate Change call to action?

Our planet's proper functioning and survival rely on a delicate balance of a vast heterogeneity of animal, plant, and microorganism species that contribute to the ecosystem established on Earth. Of all the organisms, there is one that has had a great impact on the planet, so great that it was capable of upsetting its balance, causing entire ecosystems to disappear and threatening its very existence: humans. Activities such as intensive fishing have destroyed the oceans, livestock farming and our gigantic demands for meat have dramatically increased carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, and have prompted ever more reckless farming using pesticides and stressful techniques that have destroyed soils halfway around the world and accelerated the phenomenon of desertification. This has brought us to where we are today, in a society that is only now beginning to recover from one of the greatest disasters in our history, the COVID-19 pandemic, and which must inevitably prepare to face an even greater and more important challenge. This pandemic has undoubtedly taught us many things.
