Past, Present, Future
Our Atmosphere
1824 - Joseph Fourier:
The greenhouse effect keeps earth cooler
1860 - John Tyndall:
Atmosphere gases absorb radiation
1896 - Svante Arrhenius:
- Low CO2 caused ice-age
- Coal burning warms the earth
The unforeseen future
1900 - 2 gigatonnes CO2 emissions
(1,000,000,000,000 kg)
1950 - a turning point
1975 - x3
2010 - x2

Noticable Effects
Changing in Global ecosystem
Floods, Fires, Droughts, Storms
Is it really us?
Correlation is not causation
It’s complicated
Dried and shrinking wetlands
contributes to methane (CH4)
and CO2 emissions
https://www.wetlands.org
CO2 Sources:
Global Manmade GHG Emissions by Sector, 2013
The world is changing
As the world population growth and modernized, we
→ Consume more energy + demanding more food supply
→ Increasing Agriculture (& deforestation)
→ More CO2, CH4, N2O in the atmosphere
Man-made greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 (% of total)
Changing Energy
Electricity production modes
should be:
● Zero-Carbon
● More efficient
● Cheaper than fossil fuel
Services should consume less energy
● Travel less:
Reduce long-distance travels
● Reduce carbon impact
(Airplanes - contrail cirrus)
● Local production = less shipping
(Or use rail…)
Changing Transportation
Source: https://www.tmrow.com/climatechange
Change everything
Politics: Long term threat - short term policies
Money: Oil & Gas lobby
Doubt: Media, contribution of individuals
Source: Net-zero emissions energy systems - Davis et al.
Show me the money: the dark side
Coal supporters: 1.9 Trillion dollars since Paris Agreement
Fossil Banks - JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America, RBC…
Asset management - BlackRock
Insurance Companies
Stopping fossil-fuel importation
Biggest coal importers:
1. Japan: US$25.4 billion (16.7% of total coal imports)
2. India: $24.6 billion (16.2%)
3. China: $19.6 billion (12.9%)
4. South Korea: $16.5 billion (10.9%)
5. Taiwan: $8.1 billion (5.3%)
6. Netherlands: $5.9 billion (3.9%)
7. Germany: $5.7 billion (3.7%)
8. Turkey: $4.4 billion (2.9%)
9. Brazil: $3.4 billion (2.2%)
10. Malaysia: $3.2 billion (2.1%)
Source: http://www.worldstopexports.com/coal-imports-by-
country/
Top 5 countries - 62% of all total coal imports
Top 10 countries - 76.8%
Solution - use local green energy?
Show me the money - the green side!
Google - https://sustainability.google
Microsoft + Bill Gates Foundation
Public Benefit Corporations (PBC): Finsophy (banking solutions)
And many more...
Amazon? By 2040… Maybe.
Individual power - brain-wise
Stress & Fear → The limbic system:
“Towards” or “away”?
Over-arousal reduces available
resources for the prefrontal Cortex:
- Reduces Memory
- Poor judgement
Is it too late?
Reducing emissions vs
negative emissions
(mitigation)
1. Reducing Emissions
a. Optimizing electricity systems
b. Replanning transportation
c. Improving buildings / industry energy consumptions
d. Farms & Forests
2. Preparing for consequences
a. Climate modeling
b. Disaster prediction & management
c. Societal & ecological impact
3. Alteration
a. Carbon sequestration
b. Climate engineering
Possibilities
What can AI / Machine Learning do?
Machine Learning is
the new electricity
& Data is the Fuel
Detecting trees and forest health using Computer Vision
IBM Green Horizons: Cognitive IoT (energy forecasting, air quality…)
Drone-based Greenhouse management - may be used on forests too?
Transforming CO2 into Fuel
Capturing Co2 from air
AI for green environment
AI for Cities, Buildings & Individuals
- Chabot - calculating my personal CO2 footprint + reduction advices
https://www.tmrow.com
- Recommendation system for reducing household energy consumption ( > €)
https://www.watttime.org
https://sense.com
- Smart Cities
- Mobility as a service
AI for Handling Disasters Consequences
● Climate modeling with modern tools (than Arrhenius’)
- Improving Climate Science
● Visualizing the Climate Change Consequences using GANs (Schmidt et al.) -
DeepFake can get GREEN!

Editor's Notes

  1. In short: we (as society) *explicitly* knew about the greenhouse effect for 150 years.
