Weighing just 260 kg each, they will fly in very-low-Earth orbit at heights of roughly 550 km, which means that atmospheric drag will pull them down within a few years so they don’t end up as yet more space junk. Of course, there is an environmental cost to space, with most launches relying on fossil fuels.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Based on the lifetime of currently operating fossil fuel power plants and planned plants, it is highly likely global warming will exceed 1.5°C

Methane is a greenhouse gas that has more heat-trapping power than CO2, although it also clears out of the atmosphere much faster than does CO2. The deforestation accord is especially encouraging because it has so many side benefits. Will countries agree to make serious new cuts in their carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning?
