Glenn Reynolds links NWU on light pollution. It's pulling me into a response inasmuch as Sabine Hossenfelder was on the case just a few days before.
I reckon Daylight Savings Time has inspired all this, along with the advent of the Equinox, which makes it lighter longer faster. You know, by the d/dt cos(t) principle.
I agree with all this, including the suggestion we shift outdoor lighting (which we do need: A World Lit Only By Fire and such) to point-downward-only LED with red (antiblue) filters. Mind, those of us with apnoea or aging prostates aren't getting sleep anyway...
My only real problem with Hossenfelder's blog was when its end shifted against satellites - because muh 'stromony. We should be doing that work in space, not on Earth. In space, no Hawaiian rentseeker can picket your telescope.
