Unregulated Space Industry Emissions Pose Geoengineering Risks
A new study warns that the air pollution caused by satellites burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere is already decreasing the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface, with potentially significant climate implications. The research, published in the journal Earth’s Future, suggests that the space industry’s unregulated emissions could have unintended and serious environmental consequences, similar to those of solar geoengineering strategies. According to the study, the impact of satellite pollution is expected to grow as the space industry continues to expand, with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin launching thousands of satellites into orbit.
