Climate Crisis - Linked Data

Hello all,

I hope many on this list have been following the alarming developments over
the past week. Probably most notably is the fact that the arctic ice is
melting and warming at rates that the worst case IPCC models predicted
wouldn't happen until 2090, but they're actually happening in 2019 [1].

Happy to see the discussion of carbon impact, but perhaps the acceleration
of the problem requires a proportional shift in urgency / response?

To that end, are people on this list familiar with any climate change
linked data efforts or ontologies that are deployed and what their status
is?

Further related, the ML community just published a paper [2] about Climate
Change + AI, stating:

Undeniably, extreme weather events such as storms, droughts, fires and
> flooding are causing more and more injuries, deaths and damage worldwide.
> The changing global biological system is also threatening natural resources
> and agriculture on which human rely for existence.


Is there any equivalent effort in the KR, Ontology or SemWeb communities?

Has anyone tried to use ontology or automated reasoning to stitch together
the various silo'ed models that measure just warming or just sea level or
loss of biodiversity or impact on farming?

Even something as simple as collating the present available evidence on the
various contributing factors.

Thank you kindly,
Ali
