Funnily enough, this is half correct as countries do put stuff that ruin the climate in the sky.
It’s just called greenhouse gasses though.
Actually… There is speculation whether the excessive numbers of satellites (e.g. the Starlink satellites) going into orbit currently will disturb the ozone layer upon re-entry in a couple of years.
I knew Elon was going to end the world one way or another.
I think we’re beyond speculation. It seems pretty solid to me that burning metals on re-entry will release harmful chemicals. Why it hadn’t been proposed before, I suppose just because it wasn’t happening on such a gargantuan scale. Fuck Lonnie.
I doubt the mass of satellites is in any way comparable to the normal influx of meteors.
So 250 vs 15,000 tons per year, round up and it’s 2%. Another estimate said 40,000 tons. Satellites are definitely not a significant influence.
I love to see the dumb villager archetype alive and well.
“Me fink I knows wot it was, m’lord, and me likes to ‘ave a go at it… Roight… So at first me fought it the chickens got their feathers in the sky, like… Too many chickens peckin’ about and insultatin’ the air like as makes me pillow warm, see… But den we gets to to really finkin’, and I looks to me mate, see… And I says to me mate… It it’s not the chickens up flyin’ about, and it’s not the work a wizards, like… Wot if it’s all the junk like wot they’ve been puttin’ up in the sky, like? Dat’s wot it is, m’lord… The sky treasures.”
tbf this is absolutely the fault of what NASA and every other country are putting in the air…just, it’s greenhouse gasses…
What NASA has put into the air is an infinitesimal fraction of what personal vehicles have done.
They’ve also put a lot of things “up” that allow us to study climate change and know more about it as opposed to being caught off guard every time something happens and having no idea how people specifically are affecting the climate in different ways.
Fantastic site.
I SAID WHAT I SAID!!!
I can’t disagree with them on that one…

climate.nasa.gov is a pretty fucking fantastic site to send people like this to. They probably won’t believe it, but there are lots of cool pics and videos to keep them occupied for awhile.
That’s my cousin. That boy ain’t been right since the freon huffing incident
What goes up must be in my pants when I read something like this. I said what I said.
