This post contains link to published paper.
In a 22 Nov 2017 article at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers Spectrum Magazine web site (https://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/environment/awash-in-artificial-light-the-world-gets-2-percent-brighter-each-year), Jeff Hecht reports on an analysis
of satellite data that shows that the brightness of the world, due to artificial
lighting, is increasing at about 2.2% per year.
