Climate change is wreaking havoc on Earth – but soon it will even be messing up its orbit, scientists have revealed.It is poised to exacerbate the growing problem of space debris, potentially shrinking the usable space for satellite in low Earth orbit,

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 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 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 altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably operate.

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.

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.

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.
