One effect of more CO2 in the lower atmosphere is a thinner atmosphere in low earth orbit. So junk that would normally slow down, fall and burn up is staying up there.

Too much junk threatens to turn everyone's satellites into a cascade of more junk.

Oops.

humans bad,
cows fart
US needs to pay cash to others so that liberals feel better about the earth,

meanwhile, mother nature keeps on keeping on

Have you ever seen one of those displays that show how many and where jet airliners are during a specific moment? The U.S. is completely blanketed by airborne planes! Guess what all that toxic gas exhaust is doing to the air we breath? I live close to an airport and their exhaust turns our white house a gray color! BTW, the biggest polluter is a volcano! Try corking them up!

I guess an article about space junk is bound to stir up random thoughts.

Devo? Their lyrics made much more sense once you could get past their music. Otherwise the station was changed before their point was made.

Co2 from space junk re entry....which causes more? A holiday bon fire with stacked pallets or a 'burning man' celebration? Neither are in the house fire, barn fire class. Filtering cow farts vs weekend bar farts....

Have a friend that is a commercial pilot. Occasionally he flies into India, and says that at times air pollution is so bad the airliners are held until it clears somewhat.
