CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term (usually at least 30 years) regional
or even global average of temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns over seasons,
years, or decades.

Change: make (someone or something) different; alter or modify

"Global warming" redirects here. For other uses, see Climate change
(disambiguation) and Global warming (disambiguation). This article is about
contemporary climate change. For historical climate trends, see Climate variability and
change.
Changes in surface air temperature over the past 50 years. The Arctic has warmed the
most, and temperatures on land have generally increased more than sea surface
temperatures.Earth's average surface air temperature has increased almost 1.5 °C
(about 2.5 °F) since the Industrial Revolution. Natural forces cause some variability, but
the 20-year average shows the progressive influence of human activity.
In common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in
global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change
in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate.
The current rise in global average temperature is primarily caused by
humans burning fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution. Fossil fuel use, deforestation,
and some agricultural and industrial practices add to greenhouse gases. These
gases absorb some of the heat that the Earth radiates after it warms from sunlight,
warming the lower atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas driving
global warming, has grown by about 50% and is at levels unseen for millions of years.

Climate change has an increasingly large impact on the environment. Deserts are
expanding, while heat waves and wildfires are becoming more common. Amplified
warming in the Arctic has contributed to thawing permafrost, retreat of glaciers and sea
ice decline. Higher temperatures are also causing more intense storms, droughts, and
other weather extremes. Rapid environmental change in mountains, coral reefs, and the
Arctic is forcing many species to relocate or become extinct. Even if efforts to minimise
future warming are successful, some effects will continue for centuries. These
include ocean heating, ocean acidification and sea level rise,

Desadvantage: Climate change threatens people with increased flooding, extreme heat,
increased food and water scarcity, more disease, and economic loss. Human
migration and conflict can also be a result. The World Health Organization.

Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come
to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates. These changes have a broad range
of observed effects that are synonymous with the term.
Changes observed in Earth’s climate since the mid-20th century are driven by human
activities, particularly fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas
levels in Earth’s atmosphere, raising Earth’s average surface temperature. Natural
processes, which have been overwhelmed by human activities, can also contribute to
climate change, including internal variability (e.g., cyclical ocean patterns like El Niño, La
Niña and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation) and external forcings (e.g., volcanic
activity, changes in the Sun’s energy output, variations in Earth’s orbit).
Scientists use observations from the ground, air, and space, along
with computer models, to monitor and study past, present, and future climate change.
Climate data records provide evidence of climate change key indicators, such as global
land and ocean temperature increases; rising sea levels; ice loss at Earth’s poles and in
mountain glaciers; frequency and severity changes in extreme weather such as
hurricanes, heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and precipitation; and cloud and
vegetation cover changes.
“Climate change” and “global warming” are often used interchangeably but have distinct
meanings. Similarly, the terms "weather" and "climate" are sometimes confused, though
they refer to events with broadly different spatial- and timescales.
CLIMATE CHANGE

Global warming is the most crucial existential problem of our age, which requires
significant societal changes to mitigate it. Although we have been raising public
awareness on climate change for years, this is not enough; the global temperature
increases day by day. Even with a reduction in CO2 emissions during the stay at
home due to COVID-19, atmospheric CO2 levels are at their highest ever.
Furthermore, disasters such as droughts, storms and floods caused by climate
change have become stronger and more frequent; also, the destruction they cause
has increased. Regrettably, time is running out fast, and it seems that long-term
actions such as using eco-friendly light bulbs and solar energy panels cannot stop
this increase.

Unless greenhouse gas emissions and global temperature are reduced within
years, the world will face demanding consequences. In 2015, the Paris Agreement,
which is legally binding on climate change, has been accepted by approximately 191
countries to limit global warming to below 2, if possible, to 1.5. The countries have
committed to achieve this primary goal and minimise global warming. To
accomplish this goal requires all parties to put forward their best efforts through a
nationally determined contribution. This agreement seems insufficient; we need
concrete solutions to make it less uncomplicated to achieve these goals. According
to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), humans cause a
dramatic increase in global temperatures. Humans are the leading cause of global
warming, and humans should be the ones who may stop it. This matter must be
solved urgently, which requires many areas in its solution, including technologies
such as artificial intelligence.

There are several areas where we can use machine learning and AI, namely CO2
emissions, more energy-efficient buildings, new low-carbon materials, better
monitoring of deforestation, and greener transportation.

AI is used to solve traffic problems. The Sidewalk Labs project focuses on how city
traffic flows and provides control of traffic concentrations. The project aims to
improve urban infrastructure and increase transportation efficiency while reducing
air pollution. Furthermore, machine learning and AI have been locating
deforestation with remote sensing for a few years. For instance, the SilviaTerra
application developed by Microsoft and co-founded by Max Nova and Zack Parisa
uses artificial intelligence and satellite imaging to determine trees’ number, size,
type, and health status in forests. The purposes of this app are to build a more
sustainable future for forests and help us understand complicated ecosystems;
particularly, being health status of forests has an essential place in preventing
climate change. Likewise, Global Forest Watch is a website to determine
simultaneous forest destruction using artificial intelligence and satellites. It gives us
access to deforestation in a given geographic area, bushfire reports by date and
time, data on climate change, and more.

Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions requires changes in many areas, namely

buildings, transportation, and industry. These changes can achieve with artificial
intelligence. David Rolnick and his colleagues published a paper in 2019 called
Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning. David Rolnick, a postdoctoral
researcher at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the writers of this paper,
says how surprising it was that machine learning could contribute to solving so
many problems. There is a need to identify how we can best use artificial
intelligence and machine learning to combat climate change. Many machine
learning practitioners want to take action, but exactly how is unclear. On the other
hand, machine learning has started to be used in many fields. Moreover, machine
learning and AI bring new insights into climate change.

Machine learning can access a person’s shopping reports, estimate the carbon
footprint data from that person’s consumption habits, determine the habits that
cause the most carbon emissions, and share this data to cultivate awareness.
Additionally, we can design an application that presents, with animations and
visuals, how data such as the CO2 emission in the area where the user lives, the
annual temperature value has changed from past to present. In addition, this
application can show how the user’s carbon footprint and habits that cause carbon
emissions can negatively affect global warming.

In conclusion,

climate change is the most significant problem facing the world. Global warming is
increasing day by day. If we cannot prevent it as soon as possible, our world will
face undesirable consequences. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, which
have been quite advanced recently, is our immense weapon in the fight against
climate change. Recently, studies have been carried out to tackle climate change
with these subjects. Governments, non-profit organisations, and companies also
have the responsibility to implement and contribute and its our immense weapon
in the fight against climate change.
