Even after significant global reductions in harmful emissions into the atmosphere, the climate will continue to warm.
According to the Associated Press, Ukrinform correspondent, this conclusion was reached by artificial intelligence, whose analysis was published in the publication “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”.
“The world will likely cross the climate change threshold agreed upon by international agreements in about a decade, and will continue to warm, exceeding the next thermal threshold by mid-century, even under conditions of a significant reduction in harmful gases.” emissions,” says the material.
It was noted that the study was conducted by artificial intelligence using machine learning, and that more pessimistic results were reached than previous similar analyzes.
As you know, the Paris climate agreement of 2015 calls for preventing the average annual temperature on Earth from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius.
“Two climatologists using machine learning predicted that the Earth will cross the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit between 2033 and 2035,” the AP said.
Artificial intelligence calculations show that it is unlikely that global warming will be kept below 2 degrees Celsius.
“Under continued significant emissions conditions, the world will reach 2 degrees Celsius around 2050. Artificial intelligence says fewer emissions could delay this until 2054,” he said.
At the same time, the expert community said it was too early to fully trust the results of AI and that additional research is needed to understand the full picture.
