Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system which has various negative effects.

John McCarthy

1955
In a proposal written for famous Dartmouth conference coined the term artificial intelligence and created computer programming (AI) language LISP in 1958.

1953
Information is selected on the basis of the physical characteristics
Also known as "the cocktail party problem".
Carried out studies using a shadowing task
Attention experiment

Alan Turing

1950
Specified a Theoretical machine (touring machine) which is basis for all modern computing.
Father of modern Computing machinery and Intelligence

Claude Shannon

Overpopulation creates an increased demand for energy as well as having negative effects on our environment and ecosystems.

1948

Water is essential for agricultural production and food security. It is the lifeblood of ecosystems, including forests, lakes, and wetlands.

Overpopulation affects our water and this has negative outcomes.

Binary digit as an atomic unit of information in term of energy
Created Information Theory

Tolman

Climate change is likely to both increase electricity demand for cooling in the summer and decrease electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and wood demand for heating in the winter.

1930

How will climate change affect the production of clean energy?

e.g.: solar, wind, water

Created cognitive map

Healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity are fundamental to life on our planet.

Even small changes in average temperatures can have a significant effect upon ecosystems.

Climate change is affecting the habitats of several species, which must either adapt or migrate to areas with more favorable conditions.

e.g.: natural habitat disappearing

Wrote synthetic structures based on findings from the shadowing and dichotic listening.
Father of modern linguistics theory

Newell Shaw and Simon

Climate change is supported by scientific evidence.

1957

Write down the consequences caused by this issue and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.

e.g.: decreasing of land surface
