Luca Brocca and colleagues | A digital twin of Earth’s water cycle: progress and promise
In this Frontiers Forum Deep Dive session on 29 May 2024, Dr Luca Brocca, Dr Lorenzo Alfieri, and Dr Mariette Vreugdenhil explored the groundbreaking Digital Twin Earth Hydrology Platform and how it can enhance flood and landslide prediction and optimize water resource management in the face of climate change. They were joined for a panel and question and answer session by Dr Giriraj Amarnath, and Prof Ilias Pechlivanidis.
The session brought together the authors of the Frontiers in Science lead article ‘A Digital Twin of the terrestrial water cycle: a glimpse into the future through high-resolution Earth observations’ to discuss steps for expanding these digital twins to a global scale.

    Let's be real, GDP is hardly much of a source for capital investment for environ concerns presently. Corporate CEOs and boards are far more interested in stock buy backs, share holder increases, private jets, yachts, art, and vacations to the Bahamas. Additionally, 1.5 C is a pipe dream fantasy at this point. Likely we approach 1.8 ten years from now and exceed 2 C in less than 20 years. We are headed for catastrophic serial grain basket collapses on all continents. What's left of petroleum and gas will be expended in a race to decarbonize and mine and deploy ecars and transform the grid. Too little too late. The Wasteland is already etched in stone we just will not acknowledge it. Mitigation has been a complete failure. We need to start pouring resources into crop biotech, sea wall construction, precision fermentation, and solar management. Restoration of sensitive ecosystems is also imperative. But we will hardly do what is necessary because, yup, you guessed it: private jet vacation destinations and yachts are more important than ecosystem restoration.

    There is a fundamental assumption that human culture is good and that a culture derived from AI would be bad. Also, there is an assumption that AI will derive one solution to any particular scenario, but AI models will generate many proposals, whether new cultures or religions, thus generating many opposing factions, just as humans. Cultural and religious identity are the root cause of many wars and disputes. One thing is likely, and that is humans on planet earth are rapidly approaching an existential crisis, which will be instantly recognized by any AI tool. This is already known to any thinking person without AI, but an AI tool may produce solutions which may not be to the benefit of humankind in the short-term, but benefit to the planet. The AI solution may manipulate catastrophic solutions in order to deliver long-term sustainability to the planet, and use all possible means to engineer that outcome, probably a nuclear war. A little creative AI intervention and tweaking of messaging in the Ukrainian conflict may be that tipping point. The resulting thermonuclear war may result in a >90% reduction in population, so ensuring the long term rescue of planet earth and humankind. In that way AI appears to deliver altruism, albeit with the sacrifice of a thousand generations.

    It seems optimistic to believe we're once again staged presently to pass strong legislation and policy in the favor of climate change mitigation. Despite the evidence and scientific data, the myriad of other international and more immediate national security concerns constantly in flux on earth typically take priority. I hope that we'll stay off each other's throats well enough to allow us as a species to allocate proper attention and funding towards these overarching catastrophic problems in time.

  • @kilianlindberg
    @kilianlindberg 11 місяців тому

    Huge respect to your fantastic work Yuval, but I think you may be hitting this a bit too hard creating fear. An important part I will expand on: @25:48 and @2:12 Wrong, they do! Drones can be automatous and are highly effective in the spatial. But first a Friendly note; Please comment this in every intro to strengthen trust: Realizing that a best selling authors books may drop in sales profits and recognition when it’s rewritten, even made better by an AI is a great incentive to promote regulations; even an hidden agenda seen as the true threat by authors. So. I agree from one perspective. We could be cautious with broad regulations and instead consider universal ethics of a usage intention perspective. Why? Because of human irresponsibility, which has led to the accelerating melting of polar caps. By 2030, a significant portion of our land may disappear, potentially causing a megawar over resources. The oil crisis is insignificant in comparison. Moreover, we may have only a few years left anyway. AGI is now the only entity that 1) possibly comprehends the entirety of the situation, innovating to restore and balance Earth's ecosystem, and 2) can nudge human behavior towards a more collaborative mindset if it doesn't succeed in time, as it's highly skilled at inducing human behavior change due to these preceding years NOT regulating to broadly, finally 3) we may need all experimenting possible, single developers may find the innovation steps forward necessary.

    One thing ALL of these talks miss is the impact of change on our agricultural systems. Weather chaos is going to considerably impede our ability to feed a planet. What going to happen to civilization (communities) when they can't feed themselves and water scarcity is common place (things we are beginning to see now)? Whenever these talks focus on physical impacts they leave LOTS on the table that are not discussed. That is sad because this ends up being a very incomplete picture of what is coming down the road RIGHT NOW. In short, this presentation is nothing more than an academic exercise that focuses on the physical earth. One last comment. Why expound on carbon pricing on one hand and earlier in the presentation you say just plain stop? Carbon pricing would have been a good idea in the 80's and maybe the 90's. Now it is nothing but slowing down throwing wood on the bonfire that is earth.
