Space Debris Orbiting the EarthClimate change is not just affecting what is happening on the surface of the Earth, but also what is taking place in the outer reaches of the atmosphere. An article published in the journal Nature Geoscience last week by the U.S Naval Research Laboratory's Space Science Division described how global warming is affecting satellites and spacecraft orbiting the planet. With over 22,000 pieces of debris floating around the globe, even the smallest bit of junk jostled out of place could cause potential harm to information and communications systems.1
