Many people claim AI can help us solve climate change, so I decided to ask Google Gemini.

It regurgitated the same points climate advocates have made for for over 40 years:

  1. Transition to Renewable Energy
  2. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  3. Sustainable Agriculture and Land Use
  4. Climate-Resilient Cities and Infrastructure: Design cities to be more walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented
  5. International Cooperation and Policy

So there we have it folks.

If you’ve been waiting for an LLM to give you the list of things we need to do to solve climate change, then you now have the answer as regurgitated by an AI.

Now let’s get on with it.

    That’s not what LLMs are good for - what I imagine it is good for is taking a climate change denier’s ideas and refuting them, or helping draft a letter to a politician who can do something about them

    Potentially in the future we’ll get more abstract models, as language is a terrible way of representing things to machines, so that could help too, but this post suffers from many of the same issues as “look it snowed last week so climate change isn’t real” - it focuses on a small subset of available data as a result of looking for facts to support an opinion rather than forming an opinion based on facts.
