In this article, we analyse the role that artificial intelligence (AI) could play, and is playing, to combat global climate change. We identify two crucial opportunities that AI offers in this domain: it can help improve and expand current understanding of climate change, and it can contribute...
The relationship between negative thoughts and betrayal could be explained by the fact that they were both associated with worry about climate change. For this reason, a partial correlation was calculated while holding the level of worry constant. The correlation remained significant (r=0·32, p<...
