"I used to think that the most anti-capitalist gestures left had to do with love, particularly love poetry: to write a love poem and give it to the one you desired, seemed to me a radical resistance. But now I see I was wrong.

The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it. To protect each other, to enact and practice community. A radical kinship, an interdependent sociality, a politics of care.

Because, once we are all ill and confined to the bed, sharing our stories of therapies and comforts, forming support groups, bearing witness to each other’s tales of trauma, prioritizing the care and love of our sick, pained, expensive, sensitive, fantastic bodies, and there is no one left to go to work, perhaps then, finally, capitalism will screech to its much-needed, long-overdue, and motherfucking glorious halt."

[R] Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning - video & blog post summary

Dear ML community,

The paper "[Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05433.pdf)" was the most interesting paper i have come across since I work in the data science realm. It was created by 22 AI researchers including Andrew Ng, Yoshua Bengio, David Rolnick and others from Google, Stanford, Harvard, Deepmind, Microsoft Research etc.

Because i believe that it contains many great research works and projects which deserve more attention, i spent the last weeks and weekends to create a video summary and a blog post series, which try to give an easy to grasp overview.

Here is the video summary: [https://youtu.be/pHdv4o0mfd0](https://youtu.be/pHdv4o0mfd0)

And here are the parts of the blog post series:

1. [Electricity Systems](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2019/09/how-to-tackle-climate-change-with-machine-learning-electricity-systems/#post-69396)
2. [Transportation](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2019/09/how-to-tackle-climate-change-with-machine-learning-transportation#post-69735)
3. [Buildings & Cities](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2019/09/tackling-climate-change-with-machine-learning-buildings-cities#post-69738)
4. [Farms & Forests](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2019/09/tackling-climate-change-with-machine-learning-farms-forests#post-69740)
5. [Industry & Carbon Dioxide Removal](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2019/09/tackling-climate-change-with-machine-learning-industry-carbon-dioxide-removal#post-69742)
6. [Datasets & further resources](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2019/09/tackling-climate-change-with-machine-learning-datasets-further-resources/#post-69744)

If you want to learn more afterwards, check out the [http://climatechange.ai](http://www.climatechange.ai/) project, which emerged from the paper, where you will find further resources, such as datasets, initiatives and talks from ICML 2019.

There will be workshops at NeurIPS 2019 (Vancouver, Canada) and AMLD 2020 (Lausanne, Switzerland) that will focus on this matter as well.

Machine Learning is not a miracle cure and cannot solve all climate change related problems. Policy makers must decide to act to drive large-scale progress. But ML is an invaluable tool which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in many domains and sometimes even help create better policies, as the research shows.

I hope this summary will spark further ideas and maybe inspire you to do something about one of the greatest challenges we face as a planet. Let's use the diverse talents we have to drive some progress and create a better future!
