From Snowpiercer to The Day After Tomorrow, countless movies and series have put forward their vision of how climate change might reshape the world.
Worryingly, scientists predict that the reality might be far more shocking than anything imagined by a Hollywood studio.
Now, artificial intelligence (AI) reveals what this might look like.
With Google’s ImageFX AI image generator, MailOnline has used the latest scientific research to predict how the world will be in 2100.
As greenhouse gas levels continue to increase, scientists predict that entire cities will be plunged under water.
Meanwhile, climbing temperatures and punishing heatwaves could kill millions of people around the globe.
Professor Julienne Stroeve, a climate scientist from University College London, told MailOnline: ‘The largest impacts that affect all of us are sea level rise and changes in weather extremes.
‘All of these will increase through the century if we do not do anything to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.’
Scientists have known for years that human-caused climate change is leading to a warmer climate.
As greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane build up in the atmosphere, they act like a blanket covering the planet, trapping heat from the sun and leading to rising temperatures.
This year, the Copernicus Climate Change Service confirmed that 2024 was the hottest year on record, reaching an average surface temperature of 15.1°C (59.2°F).
Last year was also the first year when average temperatures exceeded 1.5°C above the pre-industrial record.
In the future, scientists predict that temperatures will continue to get hotter on average.
