Thanks for inspiring us! The content you produce is super helpful and easy to consume and the tips you offer are golden! A theme that is concerning is how we as data scientists can code more efficiently, like do "green coding", or even learn data science in the most climate friendly way possible or even know the condition in which an ai coding assistant can be a better option than googling for help. Is it possible we see an idea like that analyzed on a future video of you?

It will be 20 years before AI could have a chance. Humans tend to be over enthusiastic when predicting tech futures. In the 50s we are already flying around in space cars in the Jetsons and in the 80s by now we would have flying hoverboards. It is going to be at least 20 years or more and we are cutting it pretty close with the climate. Also, considering we are causing the climate disaster, AI's answer might just be to eliminate us.

Oh that is the positive attitude we need! Thank you for sharing the good news. I know it's too early to celebrate yet but it's encouraging to see the change in the weather. I remember in high school. My first presentation and the only presentation I did was about Global warming. I remember I was worried about the polar bears. Though it's very important to sensibilize the general public of the pro's and con's of working towards the climate goals. We can only reach our climate goals together. We are on the right track. Looking forward to some more good news. Cheers!

Great work, I wish your content can be broadcasted to a wider audience.

Understand the world comes from analyzing data.

Let's help others do good decisions !

[kovatembel]

Very balanced view on the possible trajectories for the future. There's many exciting technological advancements to make (although it's hard for me to believe technology alone can solve this), especially with AI maturing like it has (the machine-learning aspect, not thinking about superintelligence), at least it will be interesting decades to follow / be a part of this progress =)

[NicolasEmbleton]

Excellent write up!! Thanks. I would add though that AI being VERY energy intensive will likely make it WORSE for a bit, until AI and chips gets more effective, and energy becomes more generally available (through things such as Nuclear energy, for example, despite it being quite a polarized topic).

[rrrevered]

Change is possible. There are no problems too big to solve. Thanks again, Thu Vu. You are going places, my dear data scientist coach. I am ready to learn.

[TheQuilk]

Look at the 1000 year period, not the last 100 years. There is nothing bad about climate change; on the contrary, it is good.

[effortlesscharm]

Hey Thu! I love the channel and I can help you with the channel, topics, titles, thumbnails and video outlining. (i have experience working for other larger creators, one with 6.5m Subscribers, how can I reach out to you to tell you more about how I can help you?

[deepmehta]

Awesome video!! Thank you so much for this video very helpful content!!

[StayMotivate-orrf]

Hello mam you are doing great work for our community, but I have a humble request please make video on maths learning topics which are important to become AI and ml engineer with proper guidance and free learning resources and full roadmap of learning mathematics please sir ! 🙏🙏 But thanks for your hardwork😊.

[terran]

This is amazing content and information, sometimes I do forget how AI is used for noble causes, thank you for reminding us

[SlokYadav-bs]

Are you currently living in Netherlands or USA?

[Kansky]

ChatGPT, tell me how to stop volcanoes, please.

[fienolobodhi]

And AI's CO2 emission increase by 10X in the next 5 years is not a problem ?

[jonthompson]

AI will turn this into a vacation planet 😂

[kayericwinkler]

Ask RI (Real Intelligence) whether climate change exists.

Just wondering why you posted the chart of 800, 000 years of CO2 levels without posting the chart showing 800, 000 years of Earths temperature?  

I mean it’s all fine and dandy to list 150 years of temperature and scream that climate change is going to kill is all and that’s it’s all because of human CO2 levels….but it sure makes it look like you don’t know what you are talking about. Other things you ignored in your climate rant:
1. Milankovitch cycles refer to predictable changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt over long periods of time. These cycles affect the distribution and intensity of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, influencing climate variations over thousands to tens of thousands of years. They include eccentricity (changes in the shape of Earth's orbit), axial tilt (changes in the angle of Earth's axis), and precession (wobbling of Earth's axis). These variations can lead to changes in the amount and distribution of solar radiation received by the Earth, impacting global temperatures and climate patterns.

2. While increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere can contribute to global warming by trapping heat (the greenhouse effect), they can also have a fertilization effect on plants, leading to increased vegetation growth and potentially offsetting some of the warming.
This phenomenon, known as CO2 fertilization, occurs because plants use CO2 during photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates and other organic compounds. With higher levels of CO2 available, plants are able to photosynthesize more efficiently, leading to increased growth rates and potentially greening of certain regions.
The greening effect can have several impacts on the climate. For example, increased vegetation can lead to more absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere, acting as a carbon sink and potentially reducing the rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere. Additionally, vegetation can affect surface albedo (reflectivity), moisture levels, and heat fluxes, all of which can influence local and regional climate patterns.

3. Over the past 800, 000 years, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have fluctuated significantly due to natural processes such as volcanic activity, variations in Earth's orbit, and changes in ocean circulation. These fluctuations have played a crucial role in shaping Earth's climate over long time scales. 
They also form predictable and consistent patterns of climate change on the earth. With every natural increase in temperature coinciding with natural decreases in temperature over similar time scales.
During glacial periods, CO2 levels have been lower, typically ranging from around 180 to 280 parts per million (ppm). This lower CO2 concentration, along with other factors like reduced solar radiation due to changes in Earth's orbit, contributes to cooler temperatures and the expansion of glaciers.
In contrast, during interglacial periods, CO2 levels have been higher, ranging from around 280 to 300 ppm. This higher CO2 concentration, combined with factors such as increased solar radiation and changes in ocean circulation, contributes to warmer temperatures and the retreat of glaciers.

While CO2 levels play a significant role in determining Earth's climate, they are not the only factor involved. Other natural processes and feedback mechanisms can counteract or amplify the effects of CO2 on climate.  

For example, changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt (Milankovitch cycles) can influence the amount and distribution of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface, leading to variations in climate over long time scales. During certain periods, these orbital variations can result in decreased solar radiation in specific regions, contributing to cooler temperatures despite high CO2 levels.
Additionally, feedback mechanisms involving ice sheets, clouds, and ocean circulation can also play a role in regulating Earth's climate. For instance, as temperatures cool, ice sheets may expand, reflecting more sunlight back into space and further cooling the planet. Similarly, changes in cloud cover can affect the amount of solar radiation absorbed or reflected by the Earth, influencing temperature.
Overall, the climate system is complex and influenced by a multitude of factors, including CO2 levels, orbital variations, feedback mechanisms, and more. Understanding how these factors interact and influence climate change is essential for predicting future climate trends.  

Looking at the earths 500, 000 year temperature graph will show you we are in a normal climate pattern of heating. Exactly like the previous 6 over that 500, 000 year time frame. And man made activity is having very little impact on the earths natural climate change.

well firstly, wind and solar power arent very good considering how much power we need, weird how people never mention nuclear which is the only clean energy source thats actually reasonable.
Also the production of the car batteries uses in electric cars are also very bad for the environment. Of course the actual use of the car doesnt pollute like regular cars, so one would think its still better in the long run, but not if you consider the how we get the much greater electricity demand to charge those batteries, (which is all fossil fuels)

The only real answer is investing billions into nuclear power.

i have theory we also could be getting closer to the sun that's why we were getting more hot. Or we create a giant rocket that pushes us further away from the sun.
