Just watched some eps of Extrapolations this week, the Apple TV show about climate change. It's (a sci-fi show that shows life in the future ~2040-2060) very far fetched, but not so much as to say it's out of the question that species continue to eradicate due to extreme climate change when it occurs. 1 cause was wildfires, and we saw some terrible fires over the last few years, from ones in Australia, or the Amazon, to ones in California. Still remember those pictures of burning Koalas in Australia. Another is the idea of rising sea levels which could cause many habitat loses like the Tiger ones.
But while these things may not be happening now, it does feel that more attention in terms of engineering efforts need to happen. There is a lot of hype and media outrage, but not seeing as much real substantive efforts. I hope we can control climate much better in the coming decades. Many believe Deep Learning will help with that. At the same time, these models are not as good at planning right now. So, I wonder if it will be as simple as that. Definitely in the realm of data extraction, and analysis, it will be of great help.
