benarkah RI Jadi Daerah Tergelap Di Bumi ?
Peta dari citra satelit menunjukkan negara dunia ketiga gelap gulita.
From the most glamorous area to the darkest region on earth. Satellite imagery shows the results of our electricity usage and energy consumption. Indonesia along with other third world countries covered the darkness.
These maps are created by scientists Felix Pharand-DeschÍnes using data collected from satellite imagery. According to the Daily Mail, he wants to compare with third-world countries.Third world countries in Africa, South America, Asia and most parts of the darkness seemed closed. On the continent of Asia, Japan became the country's most sparkling. In central Asia, India, and Australia rarely seen the light. In Africa, the points just a lot of visible light from Cairo to the Nile in Egypt.In Indonesia, the most concentrated point of light on the island of Java. Meanwhile, Indonesia occupied East region of darkness. Energy consumption in Indonesia appear uneven. This condition is inversely proportional to the Western countries who were shining as much energy consumption.
At night, London became the most polished city with a sprinkling of light dots on the map. In fact, energy consumption can be turned on the lights at London Irish to be a light show.Every year London 150 000 gigawatt of energy consumed per hour. Energy consumption of the British capital is equal to the consumption of the entire country of Portugal and Greece. Person who austerity campaign has warned that 50 per cent of the UK population will not be able to see the stars in the night sky as "tainted" this light pollution.Satellite images show the UK and other countries in continental Europe, such as Paris and Moscow, a lot of electricity consumption for lighting at night. Some of the big city energy spend so much bigger than the sky sparkled.The United States also wasteful in the use of electricity. Eastern region in Houston, Texas, and San Francisco, and Los Angeles in the western region showed severe light pollution.Beautiful glittering world map shows the West guilty of wasting energy. This region of light pollution in a shocking scale.Globally, the satellite image shows the western countries are wasting energy while other regions were in darkness. This suggests that rich countries consume far more energy than developing countries. Western countries provide the largest contribution in light pollution.
