Episode #3: Navigating Uncertainty with AI and Climate Intelligence
In the summer of 2021, devastating floods swept through Germany’s Ahr Valley, killing over 180 people and destroying homes, roads, and lives. How could such a disaster catch communities and policymakers so off guard?
In this episode of Second Order, I explore the tension between uncertainty and action in the age of AI in climate and environmental risk prevention. From smallholder farmers in Kenya to flood-prone cities in Thailand and California vineyards, we look at how AI and climate intelligence are helping humans make better decisions under deep uncertainty.
We’ll examine tools like ClimateAi, Tomorrow.io, GraphCast, Vibrant Planet, and FloodSens, technologies that don’t try to predict the future perfectly but help us act intelligently despite what we don’t know. And we’ll confront a paradox: AI can extend our capacity to respond, but it can’t replace the hard ethical, political, and economic choices that shape our world.
A thoughtful exploration of climate, prediction, and the art of preparing for the unknown.
Until then,
Massera
