Jensen Huang lays out his plan to create a digital earth model to forecast climate in this press conference. If it’s successful in predicting climate and weather patterns accurately, do you think it’ll be enough evidence to convince climate deniers?

The real question is: is there more money to be made in the near future by reversing climate change or by selling solutions for those who have to deal with a broken climate?
Well, yes, actually, there is!
Exxon figured that they’re already good with molecular logistics, so rather than (only) ramp up renewables (which requires new infrastructure for electrical energy management), they’re trying to become the leader in the carbon-capture market.
They’re predicting the carbon-capture market to hit $50 billion by 2030 and as much as $4 trillion by 2050 as industry standards change to require more stringent carbon-footprint management.
Honestly not the worst idea, although it’s def more of a bandaid than a solution. Only issue is that it’s big, bad Exxon, who’s capitalist-style fossil-fuel production is part of what got us into this mess, but, again, this is kinda right in their wheelhouse.
