When a devastating landslide struck Italy's Ischia island in 2022, scientists wondered: Could AI have predicted this? New research reveals how making #AI systems more transparent could revolutionize natural disaster forecasting and climate science.

Trust is crucial to the adoption of AI.

We never used to have a “fire season”. It was called autumn and we wore sweaters in October. We didn’t have multi year droughts. The lakes were full and snow on the mountain tops. Don’t normalize climate crisis. It’s not normal. “

It’s called “environmental amnesia” and it's an actual issue environmentalists discuss how to combat. The climate crisis makes it more widespread but it’s been something that’s happening for generations. The story of The Lorax describes it beautifully. The idea that what you remember is what you consider normal, but if the changes happen slowly over generations, you don’t see how large they are because you don’t personally remember them being very different, even if you were told stories about it.

I am very grateful to everyone who reached out to me. I am safe and my family and friends are safe, but some people we know lost everything.
