At a recent scientific forum held in Madrid, two experts have recently unveiled what they claim to be the exact moment when several global catastrophes can be avoided, thanks to advanced technological tools and unprecedented international cooperation.
Claudia Ramirez, a climatologist from the Complutense University of Madrid, and Fernando Santos, an artificial intelligence specialist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), presented a combined study that proposes precise predictive models to identify critical points in various global crises, from severe climate changes to pandemics.
Ramirez emphasized the importance of synchronizing different technologies to predict climate disasters with unprecedented accuracy. “Our models indicate that with the current trajectory of CO2 emissions, the critical threshold of global temperature increase will be reached by the year 2035, but there are specific measures that, if taken in the next five years, can avoid the most devastating effects of this phenomenon,” explained Ramirez during her intervention.
On the other hand, Santos highlighted the crucial role of artificial intelligence and Big Data in pandemic prevention. “Through advanced algorithms and analysis of large volumes of data, we can predict the emergence of contagious diseases with three times greater accuracy than current techniques. The exact time to act is now; the collection and processing of global data must be intensified and coordinated internationally as soon as possible,” Santos affirmed.
Both experts emphasized that the key lies not only in technology, but in collective action. “Cooperation between countries and between scientific disciplines is the only way to implement effective and timely solutions. It is not enough to have the technology; we need political will and global commitment,” Ramirez added.
The presentation has generated significant interest among the scientific community and policymakers, many of whom emphasized the urgency of the recommendations. “This study offers a clear call to action. We cannot afford to wait any longer,” commented Ana López, a representative from the Spanish Ministry of Environment, present at the event.
The publication of Ramirez and Santos’ work has already begun to influence the agenda of several international organizations, which are considering convening emergency meetings to discuss the measures to be taken. The hope is that, with coordinated effort and the use of these innovative technological tools, humanity can avoid some of the worst consequences looming on the horizon.
