Matthew Bailey discusses how technology, specifically the Internet of Things (IoT), could help address the issues caused by climate change. He outlines how IoT works by connecting billions of low-cost sensors across the planet to collect data and make intelligent decisions. Bailey proposes using IoT to monitor various aspects of the environment, agriculture, energy use, and disasters to help mitigate the effects of climate change and work towards a more sustainable relationship between humanity and the planet. He argues that IoT, if implemented widely using low-power and cost-effective technologies, could help save us from the devastating consequences of climate change if left unaddressed.
