Climate change, Earth and Satellite Collision

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 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
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
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 'dirty mirror' effect is accelerating climate change
Earth is absorbing more sunlight and trapping more heat than it releases into space, causing our planet to warm up at an increasing rate. New research shows that cloudy areas over oceans are reflecting less sunlight to space than before, adding to heating from rising greenhouse gas levels and causing climate change to accelerate.
Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current Could Slow 20 Percent by 2050 Because of Climate Change, Study Finds
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is involved in everything from storing carbon to guarding Antarctica from invasive marine species, and a slower current could have far-reaching consequences
Climate Change Is Shrinking Space For Satellites To Orbit
A new study from MIT aerospace engineers reveals that rising carbon dioxide levels are shrinking Earth’s upper atmosphere, leading to long-term consequences for satellites and space debris.The study,
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.
A striking new visualization looks like a flower in bloom but tells an alarming story about what’s happening to the planet
A spiral graphic made by climate scientist Zeke Hausfather unfurls like a flower, its colors moving from blue to red. It may look beautiful but it reveals is just how unusually hot our planet is becom ...
How global warming could threaten satellites, according to new study
Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth, according to new research.
