How Climate Change Is Creating More Space Junk

The video discusses the impact of climate change on both Earth and space. It explains how increased CO2 levels lead to the greenhouse effect, warming the planet. In the upper atmosphere, CO2 causes cooling and shrinkage, affecting satellites by reducing drag and extending their lifespan. However, this also increases space debris, leading to the Kessler Syndrome. The video highlights the need for solutions like satellite traffic management and debris capture to address these challenges.
