A study by climatologists with the help of artificial intelligence showed that the world cannot avoid warming by 1.5°C, which will happen between 2033 and 2035.
Humanity can prevent the temperature from rising by 2°C if all countries reach zero emissions by the middle of the century, reports UNIAN.
Such a study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
It is noted that according to the forecast of artificial intelligence, humanity will reach the 2°C mark by 2050 and it is almost impossible to keep the temperature rise below that. Even if humanity reduces emissions, warming of 2°C will occur in 2054.
"We're using this very powerful tool that's able to take information and integrate it in a way that no human mind can do, for better or worse," said study co-author Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford University.
The article emphasized that AI uses different methods for predictions, which is why the results differ so much. According to scientists' forecasts, the world should have reached the 2°C mark in the 2090s, provided that emissions are reduced.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the UN Global Panel of Climate Scientists (IPCC) confirmed that climate change is making the heat hotter and more frequent in most terrestrial regions of the world.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, an international study by the GlobeScan consulting company showed that fear of climate change forces 40% of people avoid having children.
