MTI Mag:
Climate change will reduce the number of satellites that can safely orbit in space


... MIT reports

The team carried out simulations of how carbon emissions affect the upper atmosphere and orbital dynamics, in order to estimate the “satellite carrying capacity” of low-Earth orbit. These simulations predict that by the year 2100, the carrying capacity of the most popular regions could be reduced by 50-66% due to the effects of greenhouse gases.
