A study warns that high levels of greenhouse gas emissions could reduce by the end of the century half of the maximum number of satellites that can orbit the Earth safely. The accumulation of these gases in the upper layers of the atmosphere would favor space debris to remain longer,

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

The thermosphere usually drags space junk to its doom. As it thins, ruined orbits are a possibility Earth’s atmosphere is shrinking due to climate change and one of the possible negative impacts is that space junk will stay in orbit for longer,

A new study finds that 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

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. MIT researchers calculated that as global warming caused by burning of coal,
