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

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, a new study finds. MIT researchers calculated that as global warming caused by burning of coal,

We knew the Earth's atmosphere was shrinking due to climate change. Now, we have determined how many satellites will fit into low Earth orbit in 2100.
