USwitch’s green energy specialists have utilised AI to create a possible world in 2100. The group used Midjourney to create visual representations of the best and worst possible futures for 20 well-known locations throughout the world. Amsterdam, London, New York, Tokyo, Toronto, and other locations were among them.
In order to understand how all nations might achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, the USwitch team worked with professor Sam Fankhauser, Research Director of Oxford University Net Zero, to evaluate ensign data from diverse industries. This would imply that the emissions are within the range of what we are able to remove from the atmosphere. In order to determine how climate change will affect each nation, they also referenced the most recent IPCC report.
According to their analysis, the greatest hazards to well-known cities are a high level of pollution, catastrophic flooding, and rising temperatures that could lead to droughts or wildfires.
Two scenarios were presented in the project for each of the 20 cities. The first image depicts how each city can appear if we don’t implement the essential reforms to lessen the consequences of climate change. The second is more upbeat and shows how cities might appear if the nations finally reach their net-zero objectives.
At the moment, air pollution in New York is increasing. GHG emissions from people’s daily commutes are to blame for this. The city might enter a permanent trough state if these emissions are kept at such high levels and net-zero is not reached by 2050. For instance, in the summer of 2022, London had temperatures that were higher than 41 degrees Celsius. We witness a smoggy, dreary London and a parched, bleak Central Park in the AI image from the Midjourney.
