Climate Change Is Shrinking Space

Climate Change Might Increase Satellite Collisions, Limiting How Many Can Safely Orbit Earth, Study Finds
Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites more vulnerable to damage, according to new research
Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites
Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology calculated that as global warming caused by burning of coal,
Climate Change Is Shrinking Space for Satellites to Orbit
Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth, it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas emissions are shrinking the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag and allowing space debris to linger longer,
Climate change is shrinking Earth’s atmosphere - and that’s bad for satellites
Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably operate.
Earth's 'dirty mirror' effect is accelerating climate change, research suggests
The Earth is absorbing more sunlight and trapping more heat than it releases into space, causing our planet to warm up at an increasing rate.
Earth's orbital rhythms link timing of giant eruptions and climate change
An international team of scientists has synchronized key climate records from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to unravel the sequence of events during the last million years before the extinction of the dinosaurs at the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary.
How Climate Change Is Making Satellites More Dangerous To Earth
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that climate change is weakening Earth’s atmospheric friction, increasing the risk that falling satellites won’t burn up completely before reaching the surface.
Climate Change Is Making Space More Hazardous for Satellites
Greenhouse gas emissions are altering not just Earth's climate but also the environment of space. For decades, climate change research has focused on the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere closest to the planet’s surface.
