Incredible Diagrams Show How Human Technology Has Taken Over The Planet

Earlier this week, the United Nations Populations Fund revealed that by October 31st, there will be an extra billion people on the Earth compared to 1999. According to the UN it has been estimated of all the humans ever born, over 6 per cent, are walking the Earth today.

‘These pictures show several sides of global human activities,’ said 34-year-old Felix, from Montreal, Canada. ‘We see everything from paved and unpaved roads, light pollution, railways, electricity transmission lines.’ ‘It shows the extent of our civilisation, the patterns of our global sprawl, how human-influenced our planet now is.’

‘I thought there would be huge strengths associated with global pictures depicting how far we’ve been at colonising, domesticating and transforming our home planet. I started to gather data from numerous sources and to explore ways of assembling them. We’ve seen similar pictures in movies like Star Wars, Contact, Avatar and the likes but I have never seen realistic renderings for our Earth. So I thought - why not try to make some?
