Conservationists can now monitor climate impacts to expansive marine ecosystems over extended periods of time, a task that used to be impossible, using a tool developed by scientists in the U.S.
The first detailed global map of river flow shows that more than half the world's rivers stop flowing for at least one day a year and many could run dry if climate change isn't addressed.
Humans are wired to deal with immediate threats like that what's that moving in the bushes. However, for long-term threats like climate change, people suffer from cognitive biases that often make us discount the extent of the threat or turn us into bystanders as we wait for someone else to deal with the problem.
Experts from Harvard, MIT, Google, Microsoft, and elsewhere say artificial intelligence could contribute to high impact solutions for reducing global emissions.
