Earth, Climate change and satellites

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.
Climate Change Might Increase Satellite Collisions, Limiting How Many Can Safely Orbit Earth, Study Finds
Currently, around 11,900 satellites are orbiting Earth, providing essential services such as internet connection, communication capabilities, weather prediction and navigation technology. However, researchers in the United States and United Kingdom now say greenhouse gas emissions might drastically reduce the amount of satellites humanity can
Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites
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 could affect Earth's orbit and litter space with 'millions of pieces of junk'
Scientists have warned that greenhouse gas emissions will result in less space junk being burned up – and more debris littering outer space
Study says climate change will even make Earth's orbit a mess
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,
Scientists Highlight Surprising New Threat to Satellites: Climate Change
By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new study.
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.
