In my previous article, I wrote about COP30, goals, solutions, and methodologies. Today, I discuss how we can preserve our dear planet, Earth, where we live!
Climate change is affecting lives, farming, causing droughts, bringing cyclones, hurricanes, and storms, and causing snow melt in glaciers. If this is not enough, air quality is declining, and water levels are rising near the oceans.
What is the solution?
What did COP30 say in the end?
Well, we need solutions.
COP30 is fighting for funds to rebuild the regions and for disaster management, to accommodate the fossil fuel transition. If we keep giving funds to keep and grow in the same way, the money we need to do so would increase each day. Each year, we would donate trillions of dollars to cover the costs of the havoc caused by storms.
Wait a minute?
When will it stop then?
Is controlling methane enough at this stage?
Would the end of fossil fuel use mean no storms? No destructions? No right. Storms would be there, and the air won’t be clean enough soon.
We need to stop the destruction.
We need AI-based climate simulations.
Imagine that at COP30, they agreed that by 2035, funding would reach $1.3 trillion.
Imagine what all can be done with these funds and what a vicious circle of problems the money fosters.
With this money, a new device would be made for power generation, to phase out fossil fuels, but would it stop disasters? Can it stop melting ice and snow? Can it clean the air? It would rebuild a locality, but that locality could be threatened by climate and nature again.
We can stop many things if we think intelligently and aptly.
Think about it: if we can cure the problem, we won’t have to pay for the aftermath.
If there is no storm, why would COP30 funds be needed to pay for the aftermath of the destruction of life and livelihoods?
How can we stop nature?
Nature is too powerful?
We are also billions in number.
Humans are the most intelligent beings.
Can we think right now?
Can we control climate change somewhat?
Control how?
How can control be maintained so that polar regions remain cold? How?
We need AI simulations for that, as these things can’t be tested in the real world. They need to be simulated.
Saudi Arabia developed a method for artificial cloud seeding!
What if we cause snowfall in Arctic regions with cloud seeding?
This can cause the polar regions to retain some of the cold and temperatures.
Can we cause storms to rain in the sea before they come to landfall?
By cloud seeing or better ways?
How can we predict it?
Well, we need to invest in developing an AI-based digital twin of Earth and its atmospheric processes.
We need to make new ways of cloud seeding. So that clouds can cause rainfall at sea without reaching the terrain.
We need safe ways of cloud seeing.
Can cloud seeding can be environmentally friendly?
What about clean air and water?
I would discuss these in my upcoming articles. Do remind me to cover these topics.
The aim of today’s article was to cover the fact that COP30 agreed to allocate $1.3 trillion in funding to climate-affected lands by 2035. With this money, we can build a digital twin of Earth, learn about snow seeding, cloud seeding, and make the polar regions safe by keeping them cool so that ice forms there in sufficient amounts. Can we have snow seeding, too?
With the intention to help Earth, I also say that saving Earth is important, and saving lives is even more important. So, if at some place a storm can’t be stopped, lives should be saved, so there should be a mechanism to save lives, and a large amount of $1.3 trillion would go into saving lives. Lest we save Earth, and storms never make landfall, a utopia which can never happen, but we can try a digital twin of Earth. We can try seeding clouds over calm seas where they form, so they do not become dangerous. We can try it with simulations first. All these things need funding. And AI simulations of this planet can help Earth.
Note: Some of these points may not be feasible, but the philosophy says we should think of all solutions, and one day we can build something useful from what all we tried. One day storms would end, one day air would be clean, one day glaciers would be as cold as we want. We, humans, are too small in front of storms, but when one billion of us agree, we can do something worthwhile.
