The UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria) has funded an ambitious project with £81 million to create an early warning system for climate tipping points. This initiative will integrate drone fleets, cosmic ray detection, plankton patterns, and artificial intelligence. The focus is on critical tipping points, mainly the Greenland ice sheet's collapse and disruptions to North Atlantic currents, both capable of significant climate shifts. While some warning signs of instability have been observed, predicting tipping points remains a challenge, necessitating enhanced data and advanced computer models to inform decision-making.
The aim is to combine drones, detection technology, and AI to identify early warning signals of critical climate tipping points, potentially preventing catastrophic outcomes.
