Map of the human footprint on earth
source: http://www.mongabay.com/images/external/2005/2005-11-30_wcs.jpg
The following factors: human population density greater than 1 person per square kilometre, within 15 km of a road or major river, occupied by urban or agricultural land uses, within 2 km of a settlement or a railway, and/or producing enough light to be visible regularly to a satellite at night.

Based on 18 months of Envisat observations, this high-resolution global atmospheric map of nitrogen dioxide pollution makes clear just how human activities impact air quality.

The Land and Oceans have warmed

Precipitation patterns have changed

Land areas are projected to warm more than the oceans with the greatest warming at high latitudes
Annual mean temperature change, 2071 to 2100 relative to 1990: Global Average in 2085 = 3.1oC

Projected concentrations of CO2 during the 21st century are two to four times the pre-industrial level

World insolation map source: http://howto.altenergystore.com/images/article/world_solar_insolation_data.gif
This map shows the amount of solar energy in hours, received each day on an optimally tilted surface during the worst month of the year.(Based on accumulated worldwide solar insolation data.)

This shows that the most energy rich coastlines in the world are located on the coasts of territories with a western exposure to the Southern Ocean.

The map shows the ratio of usage and potential of hydropower resources by continent. Especially Africa but also Asia and South America could use a higher amount of their hydraulic energy reserves.
