In recent years, the number of #SpaceFlights has grown steadily... and will continue to grow in the years to come. This is not without #consequences for the chemical composition of Earth's #stratosphere.
Scientists believe it is time to study the potential effects of the chemicals released during a satellite’s #launch and #re-entry phases on the #ozone layer, the Earth’s #climate, and #life on Earth: https://www.essc.esf.org/2026/06/25/pr-airl-whitepaper/

Most #volcanoes warm the #atmosphere with SO2
But the 2022 Hunga #Tonga eruption was unique
Deep enough for sea water to penetrate, but shallow enough for the explosion to push water into the *mesosphere* 🤯
The water penetration removed most of the SO2, and the water is also still up there in the #stratosphere, *cooling* us
Meaning:
#GlobalWarming should be even worse than it already is, and could rebound to such as the high water veil dissipates
