Tech consumption accounts for what percentage of the human-caused climate crisis?

It may be fun to frequently upgrade your devices, but that can have negative real-world impacts. A new exhibit in London aims to visualize for users the environmental cost of technology consumption. It shows images of iconic locations now and what they could potentially look like by the end of the century if damaged by climate change.

Locations include the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland; Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil; the Seine River in Paris; and Venice, Italy, among others. To create the images, earth system science professor Mark Maslin of University College London used climate modeling to determine the best- and worst-case scenarios for each location. A group of artists then took his findings and turned them into visualizations.

They aren’t meant to be literal interpretations of exactly what might happen, but rather a representation of the threat of overusing our natural resources. “There is a lack of awareness that all the gadgets people are using and replacing are contributing to overconsumption, huge pollution and climate change,” Maslin said. “We are trying to raise that awareness. I don’t think people using their phone every single day have any idea of its impact on the planet.”
