SS: The world could reach 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming above pre-industrial levels in the next decade and hit 2 degrees by mid-century, even with significant global efforts to curb pollution, according to a new study using artificial intelligence. The study used artificial neural networks trained on climate models and historical temperature observations. In all three scenarios, scientists estimated that the world would hit 1.5 degrees of warming by 2033-2035. There is an 80% probability that 2 degrees warming will be reached before 2065, even if net-zero emissions are reached, but if emissions remain high, a 50% probability of reaching 2 degrees before 2050. The use of machine learning in climate science is increasing.
