Well, that's not good.
Scientists enlisted the help of an AI to estimate how long it would take until global warming gets really bad. The AI's assessment? We might be screwed., suggests that global temperatures could reach the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius in just a decade. Exceed that, and
of increased drought, widescale die-offs of wildlife species and ecosystems, and famines, to name just a few drastic ramifications.aims to not exceed this threshold by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and so far, we're already sitting at 1.1 to 1.2 degrees of warming. The Paris Agreement maintains that, in the worst case scenario, the nations of the world ought to keep warming well below 2 degrees Celsius. But the AI found we have a "substantial probability" of crossing even that threshold, at which scientists believe the effects of climate change will be irreversible and far more catastrophic, by 2050.To produce these portentous predictions, the scientists trained a machine learning system on climate model outputs.
