A recent article Daily Mail (MailOnline) titled “Reveal: What life on Earth will look like in 2100 – The whole city is trapped underwater, millions of people perish in heat”, using artificial intelligence (AI) image generation to Create a cosmopolitan picture of various locations, which is said to be replicating what the world will look like in 2100 due to climate change. [emphasis, links added]
Images generated by AI are interesting, but lack a solid foundation for reliable evidence or data. When MailOnline tries to dress up with what is called fact, It is nothing more than science fiction, just like the story quotes in the opening sentence of the article.
MailOnline works open by citation Snowpiercer and The next day of the daysaid: “…scientists predict that reality may be more shocking than anything Hollywood studios imagine.”
MailOnline claims that they used Google ImageFX Image Generator to “use the latest scientific research to predict the world in 2100 years.”
The article covers main topics: “Rise Temperatures,” “Melting Ice and Higher Sea Levels,” “More Extreme Weather,” “Raging Wildfires,” “Suffocating Air Pollution” and “Millions of Deaths.”
Each is accompanied by AI-generated images from major cities with apocalyptic
Regarding the rise in temperature, MailOnline said in the statement that “last year was the first year of average temperatures above the pre-industry record of 1.5°C).
This value is not a scientifically determined risk threshold, but a political threshold, such as Climate Realism here. Even so, nothing happened after clearly exceeding the average average global average temperature average temperature at that level.
The driver behind the 24-year temperature spike is completely natural, with powerful El Niño phenomenon and massive water vapor exploding into the stratosphere through the eruption of the underwater volcano.
Now, with the emergence of water vapor circulation and ocean currents changing, the temperature is decreasing.
MailOnline also hyped the Intergovernmental Group (IPCC) model for climate change, which predicts future warming, especially warnings about 2.7°C and 4.4°C warming schemes.
one Climate Realism A guest post written by scientist Judith Curry describes the problems of these situations and how scientists can stay away from them:
RCP8.5 was considered a habitual emission scenario when the IPCC AR5 report was published in 2013, and warming from 4 to 5 is expected to be warmer.°By 2100. It is incredible to be increasingly accepted by RCP 8.5, which is arguably the current business – usually emissions.
Just a few years ago, the emission trajectory of RCP4.5 was 2 to 3°cWarming is considered a success of climate policy. Limit warming to 2°C appears to have touched (now considered the “threshold of disaster”), with the target pole moving in 2018 to lower the warming target to 1.5°C
The same “science” was used on “moistened ice and higher sea level” in which one of the scientists was interviewed by the authors, Julienne Stroeve, professor at University College London That's it The rate of change is too fast to adapt For humans and animals.
Of course, this is nonsense.
For example, early predictions of the disappearance of sea ice here and here repeatedly proved wrong.
In fact, data show that the lowest Arctic sea ice range in summer has remained unchanged since 2007, as detailed in the climate: Arctic sea ice, indicating possible in new stable ice ranges..
Claiming that MailOnline posts cover extreme weather and wildfires, again with real-world data contradicting them, and not mentioning this in the article itself, just more horrible AI images.
In fact, both NASA and European Space Agency data have found that wildfires have dropped sharply during the recent modest warming.
The next section covers air pollution, the weakest part of the presentation, and the authors reach concerning forecasts that are simply not persisted with careful consideration.
It is foolish to assume that the entire section is assumed that the area with current air pollution problems does not help with these issues.
As the country becomes richer, they always invest more in production environmental quality. As places like Delhi suffer severe seasonal air pollution investments in scrubbers and other technologies, air quality should improve as much as the United States and Europe.
Daily cash register recognition Wealthy countries have improved over time, but what they don't acknowledge is that our fossil fuel consumption has increased at the same time.
If the country is allowed to develop and pay attention to clean air, the air quality will improve.
Finally, MailOnline starts with a shocking header “Millions of Dead” and pairs it with the abandoned Barcelona image.
The arguments presented come from a recent shocking and unverified study claiming that it has been found Millions of Europeans will die from global warming and associated heat waves in the coming years.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts conducted the study in a post “No, The Associated Press, statistical fear of forecasting increased death tolls in Europe with heat-related deaths,” he noted Emission scenario RCP 8.5 mentioned in this article forms the basis for the study of this extreme claim.
RCP 8.5 was discredited; recent peer-reviewed studies found this to be impossible and have incredible high temperature predictions. In fact, the data clearly show that temperature-related deaths drop dramatically as the planet warms slightly.
The entire MailOnline post is simply manipulative; the images produced by mail lines are not scientifically strict, and their “facts” are not true at all.
In the AI generation world, ignoring showing your prompts is a pretty bad form, and some things tell me that the prompts for these images won't pass any strong standards.
Google's AI generators don't look for how high the Seine is and then calculate how the 75-year drought will look like. It just wants to find a picture of the river, a picture of the drought and a river with low water levels and generate an image based on that input.
MailOnline's AI-generated images are nothing more than dystopian fantasies in science fiction or movies, which have been proposed for over a hundred years and are even more shocking, interesting, portraying the post-apocalyptic world.
From a positive point of view, there wasn't a positive or positive comment in this article as I wrote this article. Comments from around the world seem to sum it up as “Tosh”, so this fearful person doesn't seem to have the expected effect.
this Daily Mail Online should indeed consider keeping these comments in mind, leaving fantasies to novelists, and doing work on the factual news of the day reported.
