Really, all of it.  Brightening skies, forlorn attempts to preserve nature and animals species, increased damage caused by "stronger" storms, it all has one, core cause:  Population growth.

That's a shame but I'm glad to know someone is attempting to save it.  He and his fellow observers seem to be putting up the good fight and I know how difficult that can be. I wish 'em all the best of luck in succeeding...

There are areas in most countries that won't be populated very much, mostly inhospitable areas.  They are the ones that will have to do for observing and observatories.  It's like "radio dark" places for radio astronomy.  It'll be impossible as the LIDAR being used on more and more cars is very bad for radio astronomy and people use cars to get to these places.
