1) In the PredictionX Video with Rebecca Henderson, I thought it was really interesting to learn about the uncertainty behind quantitative models. Evidently there is uncertainty whether an investment will be profitable but this same principle can be applied to the shift to renewable energy. For companies, the transition to renewable energy is beneficial to everyone; however, it is necessary that the biggest companies collectively make the move together. In addition, companies need to reduce carbon emissions following a quantitative model precisely, otherwise there is increased uncertainty on the effectiveness. Additionally, I thought it was very coincidental that she mentioned accelerating probability of pandemics given our current situation.
2) In the PredictionX Corporations and Climate video with Rebecca Henderson, an engaging conversation could have come out of asking the extent of the harm that would come out of not reducing carbon emissions. Although there was a brief conversation about wanting to reduce carbon emissions by 2050, there is still a lack of awareness. Additionally, I think it would have been very interesting to delve deeper into the quantitative models that companies must follow in order to reduce carbon emissions.
