Extreme events occur not just because of climate change but also local damage to the environment. The effects are also sometimes hard to foresee. Not all events are well reported either. ClimateNode wants to scan websites, news reports, scientific papers to understand what type of climate events are happening, their causes and effects. ClimateNode has developed its technology on surface water flooding in the UK. ClimateNode uses natural language processing. Natural language processing helps categorise and scan documents and build a library of documents that can then be used by large language models. This type of analysis would supplement the more quantitative models of climate change.
