Heat Waves Welder Data Center with power AI
Is warned by a new analysis that AI facilities may be forced to stop operating due to water shortages and blackouts

Climate | Data center hubs around the world are significantly threatened with increasing temperatures that climate change is continuing.
The warmer weather puts the pressure of water resources and power generation to help keep data centers from overheat. Water competition can lead to conflict with local communities, while power outages can break businesses. The odds of two results can prevent data center operations, according to New research from the risk intelligence company verisk maplecroft.
“Data Center operators are developing solutions to increase stability and offset of maintenance, but temperatures increase in these challenges,” Capucine analysts in Verisk Maplecroft, Tamed by stress.

Research comes as data centers that bind to meet demands demands for artificial intelligence and Cloud computing. Many are built to optimize use of water and energy to endure potential disruptions, the report says. But there are challenges ahead as the climate change step and as energy demand is growing.
“Solutions are likely to come from a mixture of changing and technology development, such as the incentives of strength,” Olivia Dobson, Director of Verisk Maplecroft, said in an email.
Despite the US, the Trump administration drives clean energy incentives and argues that the more fossil fuel production should support growth in data centers for AI, which is primarily. Fossil fuel empressions are the main cause of climate change.
deer New study Reason that AI can be used to help electric data centers with clean forms of energy, such as air and solar.
Featured in research Such repairs are expected to be more frequent and severe the climate change, adding energy systems for strong systems of sports needed to run air sports.
A recent hot hot-eyed in Europe drives electricity demands 14 percent and carries power powers because of nuclear plants of nuclear plants in nuclear plants, nuclear plants, According to EmberA global energy thinking tank. Recording temperatures around the world last year caused Electricity demands In disobedience for several months in the US, China and India – which carries a flow of power generation to coal.
New report watched the top 100 data center hubs around the world, located in places like Los Angeles; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and Bangkok.
It knows that 56 percent of hubs should achieve increasing demands of cooling every year. In a scenario where countries fail to cut into the planet’s emissions and the temperature of the world Celsius vs. of 2030 development times
Over the next five years, more than half of the leading cities of the center data can also contain water tap. Water is a primary way to give cooling. Cities facing the biggest risks are in the Middle East, such as Dubai and Istanbul. The US cities also above or high risk of 2030, research said, teaching Los Angeles, Denver and Phoenix.
Expected that energy demand is expected to grow in the next five years, as severe heat provokes power interpretation. “The climate change is more likely to affect the power infrastructure even in current risky risk markets,” the report says.
It has happened.
A severe heating up at 2022 knocked on London data centers used in Google and Oracle, which identifies the consequences of problems with their systems, Bloomberg reported. A data center for social media platform x Died of heat A few months ago in California.
