A new study using artificial intelligence shows that even with a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, global warming will not be easily controllable, and the current temperature record will be broken in the coming years. This research, published on Wednesday, December 21, in the journal 'Geophysical Research', predicts that even in the best-case scenario, if pollutant gases reach zero by 2050, the temperature of the hottest year in this century will be at least 1.8 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial times. If the cessation of pollutant emissions is delayed until the end of the 21st century, global warming will reach at least three degrees Celsius, and the occurrence of severe and unusual weather phenomena worldwide will triple. The researchers simulated the trend of global warming using an artificial intelligence system and data on land temperatures and pollutant emissions. The year 2024 is predicted to be 'undoubtedly' the hottest year on record. The study indicates that in the best-case scenario, the hottest year of this century will be at least half a degree Celsius warmer than the current record. If the decarbonization process is delayed, global warming could exceed three degrees Celsius, leading to severe consequences such as extreme weather phenomena. According to scientists, the use of artificial intelligence can provide more accurate predictions than existing simulation models and relies on real global observations to reduce inaccuracies in forecasts. The results of this new research indicate that achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is nearly impossible. Researchers emphasize that in addition to efforts to reduce pollution, special attention must be paid to human and environmental adaptation to the consequences of global warming, such as extreme heat waves and droughts. According to Noah Diffenbaugh, a climate science researcher, even with successful decarbonization, a lack of investment in adaptation to climate change will expose human societies and the environment to greater risks.
New AI Research: Even with Decarbonization, Global Warming Will Not Be Controllable
A new AI study reveals that even with significant reductions in carbon emissions, global warming will remain uncontrollable, with temperatures expected to rise significantly above pre-industrial levels. This has serious implications for climate goals and adaptation strategies. The findings suggest that achieving the Paris Agreement's targets is nearly impossible.
