This looks AI af.

This is much less an environment result and much more a personality result. Openness vs. not.

One sees these personality traits play out in travel-- those who possess openness eschew scripted group travel options, opting for immersion/freedom to explore instead. Those without that characteristic do the exact opposite.

The former group finds travel expansive- intellectually, emotionally, and politically. The latter? They are simply visiting a theme park.

Honestly, the global right wing is a cancer within humanity.

So, "yearly excess of more than 640% above natural (meteorite contribution) levels" plus "a noticeable delay (~30 years) between the beginning of the injection process when orbiting bodies are decommissioned and the eventual ozone-depletion consequences in the stratosphere." seems to add up to a potential ticking time bomb for the ozone layer.

Other than saying "significant" they don't attempt to quantify the impact...i'd be curious as to what that might be.

Tyvm!

When this all finally crashes and burns it's gonna look like Kepler on Earth.

@sundogplanets

is anyone quantifying/studying the possible effects/persistance/deposition specifics of the injection of vaporized metals etc in the atmosphere from de-orbiting starlink satellites (and others) ?

Is this ~15% attrition rate on these starlink satellites expected to be a sustained rate over the life of the program? If so... cumulatively, this could become quite significant over time. I do hope it's being looked at.

soooo. we're at the 'govt kidnapping and holding for ransom stage' now.....

@workchronicles

sliding scale fines are the solution to this, individually or corporately. See Finland and Switzerland (1M$ speeding ticket!)
