The headlines are constant, confirming the obvious. In this book the author has put together a comprehensive and practical approach to accelerate the fight against global warming through the power of artificial intelligence, which can be mankind's partner in this epic battle to reverse our carbon footprint. Is AI a double-edged sword? When we nurture AI to fight global warming, undoubtedly it will threaten our jobs. Now the challenge is not just to combat climate change but to survive the collateral damage. It is an ugly fight indeed. This book illustrates with real-world examples the possible ways to unleash AI on global warming and at the same time shelter the unemployed.

Editorial Reviews
"Software engineer Amblee (The Audacity of Futurism, 2016) covers a lot of ground in this brief survey. Amblee is at his best when summarizing complex technologies in plain, conversational language, and he presents clear examples of emerging uses for AI. A software engineer argues that only artificial intelligence, led by big data, can overcome the complexities of climate change and create a sustainable green economy." -Kirkus_Review
"The book posits that such computer automation via AI will take over many commonly held jobs and careers in the course of climate mitigation, and that housing, food, and health care will need to be made affordable under a universal basic income (UBI)." -Foreword Clarion Review
"Overall, readers will put down the book feeling that they have learned quite a bit about the world around them, and how it might change in the near and far future." -BlueInk Review
