Large Data Centres Create +8.5C Heat Islands
Yesterday at 7:56am

They found surface temperatures increased by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after a data center started operations. In extreme cases, nearby temperatures increase by up to 16.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

These increases were consistent across the globe, the researchers found. In Mexico’s Bajio region, for example, which has become a data center hub, the study found unexplained temperature rises of around 3.6 degrees over the last 20 years. A similar situation was seen in Aragon, Spain, a European center for hyperscale AI data centers, which recorded a temperature increase of 3.6 degrees which was not replicated in neighboring provinces.

Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles (10km) away, the research found, affecting more than 340 million people.

Re: Large Data Centres Create +8.5C Heat Islands Reply #4 - Yesterday at 11:41am To make it worse, everyone in those heat islands will have to use their air conditioners more. Tokyo creates a significant heat island that causes more localised rain on summer evenings, increasing summer rainfall by 30%.

Our planet has probably been heating up, slightly, but.....

Wouldn't any 'normal' fluctuation in our own solar stars normal 'behaviour' remain the largest influence upon the ambient temperatures which we experience, here, on this tiny, tiny planet ?

Comparably, the mass of our star, is huge, in comparison to the mass of our little piece of 'earth' - Adama.

Quote:

The name "Adama" is of Hebrew origin and has multiple meanings.
In Hebrew, it means "earth"....

And, 'we' are 'living'.....'only' eight minutes away from our sun's dangerous, and unpredictable 'emanations'.

Quote:

The Sun's mass
is around 330,000 times that of Earth's,
making up about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.

- wiki

It is a big, big, big, universe.

And yet, we all have such concern, about our 'life' [our lives], upon this tiny, tiny, speck of 'dust',
which we all 'exist' upon.

Our life, here, is a distraction.....from reality.
.....whatever that is.

"....And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
Luke 16:31

Yes. They generate heat. Even black roads do too. Cities, towns generate more heat than their empty rural country surrounds in their regions.
