In the fight against global warming, we often hear about the need for renewable energy, reduced carbon emissions, and the importance of individual efforts. But did you know that artificial intelligence (AI) can also play a significant role in this battle? In this blog, we will embark on a journey to discover the history of global warming, the causes and predictions surrounding it, and real-world examples of AI making a difference. We will also explore the future of AI and global warming, as well as how we can contribute to make AI even better at saving our planet.

The History of Global Warming

The Ball of fire

The term “global warming” refers to the gradual increase in Earth’s average surface temperature, mainly due to the greenhouse effect caused by the increased levels of certain gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Although the concept of global warming can be traced back to the late 19th century, it wasn’t until the mid-20th century that scientists began to monitor and study the phenomenon in detail.
