Don’t over-estimate the effect of carbon dioxide removal
Probing climate change with probabilistic FaIR-based models has been found to be effective in estimating the second metric (eTCREdown) in REN_NZCO2 scenario, which does not have NNCE by design. We calculate warming outcomes for each of these scenarios applying the same probabilistic FaIR setup and identify the scenario for which all ensemble members are cooling between 2060 and 2100.
Scientists have won a chemistry prize for their work
DeepMind founders Demis Hassabis, David Baker and John Jumper have been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work with proteins, the building Blocks of Life. The three created AlphaFold2 model that made it possible to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins identified. The AlphaFold database was mined by two teams last year.

2 Scientists were awarded the prize for discoveries in machine learning
Two scientists have been awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics for developing methods that are the basis of today’s “powerful machine learning”. The Nobel committee said the laureates used fundamental concepts from statistical physics to design artificial Neural Networks that function as associative memories and find patterns in large data sets. John Hopfield and Victors Ruvkun were awarded the medicine prize.
Is hurricanes getting worse?
Residents of parts of Florida’s west coast should follow any advice given by local officials and evacuate if told to do so, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
