Climate Change: How Can AI Help?

The summer of 2019 gave us some of the clearest examples yet of how climate change is transforming our world. The hottest June ever was followed up with the hottest July ever -- which also turned out to be the hottest month in recorded history. Scientists memorialized the first Icelandic glacier to lose glacier status and predicted the country would be glacier-free in 200 years. And unprecedented wildfires raged in the normally frozen Arctic, throwing up a smoke cloud nearly the size of Europe. The 2018 report from the International Panel on Climate Change gives us a stark time horizon: 20 years.
