Earth, Climate change

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 atmosphere is shrinking and thinning, which is bad news for Starlink and other LEO Sats
The thermosphere extends from about 90 km to 500 km above Earth's surface. While conditions in the thermosphere are hellish, it's not a hard vacuum. NASA describes it as home to "very low density of molecules" compared to the exosphere's "extremely low density."
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.
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
Study says climate change will even make Earth's orbit a mess
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.
Now climate change can impact space satellites, study claims
The sky is quite literally falling,” the author of a recent study and MIT graduate said over alleged changes in the earth’s atmosphere. Human-induced greenhouse gas emissions […]
Climate change could be threatening satellites as they orbit in space: Study
The ongoing surge of greenhouse gas emissions in the near-Earth environment could cause dramatic declines in the number of satellites orbiting the planet by the end of the century, a new study has found.
