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, often associated with its effects on Earth, could well impact the space near our planet. A recent study reveals that greenhouse gas emissions risk significantly reducing the

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

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.

MIT aerospace engineers have found that greenhouse gas emissions are changing the environment of near-Earth space in ways that, over time, will reduce the number of satellites that can sustainably operate there.

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.

By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new study.

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.
