Climate change United Nations • Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Could thirsty AI worsen the water crisis? | People & Power Documentary #aljazeeranewslive #aljazeeraenglish #aljazeera Our appetite for data is growing fast. And so is the number of data centres filled with computer servers. They store and process the data generated by our online activity, from social media to shopping to cloud storage. And they consume massive amounts of water and electricity. Big Tech companies are building data centres in places like drought-stricken Queretaro, in Mexico. We met some of the locals who are struggling to get by on rationed water as more of these thirsty facilities are built nearby.

With sea levels rising, cities need to adapt. This one floats. Engineers and architects have designed floating cities that sit atop modular, unsinkable platforms — built to withstand storms, tides, and climate change. Each unit collects solar, wind, and wave energy, recycles its own water, and grows its own food. No sewage. No emissions. Just clean, self-contained life — on the sea. The buildings are lightweight, flexible, and made from recyclable materials like marine-grade composites and bamboo concrete. These ocean cities aren’t science fiction anymore. Prototypes are already being tested. The future of sustainable living… might not be on land.
