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,

Greenhouse gases are eroding the safe carrying capacity for low Earth orbit, a new study concludes. Moreover, the authors calculate that without drastic cuts to emissions, the difference will be marked.

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

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