At least 85% of Earth's population is ALREADY affected by human-induced climate change

Artificial intelligence has made a disheartening discovery – 85 percent of the world's population has already been affected by human-induced climate change. The findings were made by German scientists, led by Max Callaghan from the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, who, according to the study, trained the system to'identify, evaluate and summarize scientific publications on climate change and its consequences.' Researchers used machine learning to sift through data published from 1951 through 2018 and found more than 100,000 studies with evidence that shows 80 percent of Earth's inhabited land has been impacted by climate change. The results also uncovered an'attribution gap' around the globe, where evidence is is distributed unequally across countries - 'evidence for potentially attributable impacts are twice as prevalent in high-income than in low-income countries,' according to the study.
