Jensen Huang lays out his plan to create a digital earth model to forecast climate in this press conference. If it’s successful in predicting climate and weather patterns accurately, do you think it’ll be enough evidence to convince climate deniers?

Do not ask, "Is climate change real?"

Ask instead, "If you are a shareholder in an insurance company, do you want that insurance company to be writing homeowners insurance policies for waterfront properties in Florida?"

Snarky answer: "yes, and when there's another hurricane the insurance can just claim bankruptcy and pass the bailout costs to taxpayers."

With stuff like “act of god” clauses and limited liability bankruptcies it might not really bother them that much.
