SpaceX satellite emissions may be driving an “accidental geoengineering” effect, researchers warn

Researchers argue that SpaceX’s Starlink and similar LEO megaconstellations are altering the upper atmosphere in ways that can function like an unregulated geoengineering experiment. The cluster highlights how the scale and pace of deployments may change atmospheric chemistry and affect longer-term climate dynamics.
