Re: Climate Crisis - Linked Data

Dear Ali,
This is a much disputed subject.
Your best starting points would be the UNFCCC, IPCC, WMO, UNESCO, UNEP and the EU for information on harnessing big data and machine learning.
To do the subject justice in terms of creating up-to-date data requires high performance computing, and the use of supercomputers.
Pose your questions directly to the secretarirats of th UNFCCC, IPCC and WMO. UNESCO as the main science body of the UN should be able to identify all leading actors and research institutes.

 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
