AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another AI.

It's AI that knows your work as well as you do.

Welcome to the Views Room, a podcast from Reuters' Breaking Views.

This week we're devoting the entire show to climate change.

And joining me to discuss the issue is Anthony Curry and Ed Cropley.

Both of them are editors at the Commentary Division of Reuters and write frequently about climate change and the companies that are affected.

Anthony, let me start with you. We've just had a really alarming warning from the United Nations. Talk us through what they're telling us.

Yeah, sure. Thanks, Svah. So I would start by saying we've seen plenty of these warnings before. What's come out with this report? It's from the intergovernmental panel on climate change. It's like 260-odd scientists and 66 different countries who've gone through all of the various reports over the past six, seven years. I think it's eight years since the last big report came out from on this particular basis. And they've synthesized the door and said, this is what we think

is happening. And they're attaching a degree of probability to various scenarios. And they've come up with,

well, they've posited five scenarios of how much climate change will impact the world over the next

80 years. And they split it up into the first 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years. And they have five different

scenarios within that. And they're saying that the worst the temperature rise gets, and let's not

forget that in Paris in 2015 at the Climate Change Conference, that the so-called

conference of parties or COP conference that they had there, there was a commitment from

all participants or allegedly all participants to try and limit the average temperature increase from the pre-industrial period in the 18th century to 2 degrees Celsius, if not indeed, to 1.5 degrees.

And what they've done is said, look, this is what's going to happen under the various scenarios.

At what point will we get above 1.5 degrees?
