AI for Climate Change: the context

This talk will set the context around "AI for climate change". This context will include the difference between long-term energy research and shorter-term research required to mitigate or adapt to climate change. I'll illustrate the urgency of the latter research by discussing the carbon budget of the atmosphere. The talk will also highlight some examples of how AI can be applied to climate change mitigation and energy research, including ML for fusion and for flood prediction.
