#SpaceDatacenters proposed by #Musk and #Bezos ‘catastrophic’ for planet, experts warn
New US petition demands review of plans from #TechCompanies amid fears of #EnvironmentalDestruction
Tom Perkins
Thu 23 Jul 2026Excerpt: "The number of active #satellites in orbit has grown exponentially from about 1,400 in 2015 to about 15,000 currently. As many as 100,000 are expected to be in orbit within the decade, not including the #datacenter networks. As of now, the bulk of the satellites’ pollution is thought to come from #Starlink and Amazon’s '#MegaConstellations' that provide broadband internet made up of about 10,000 satellites.
"Spacecraft can cause problems on their way up and down. Launches emit a range of emissions like #BlackCarbon, #NitrogenOxides, #CarbonMonoxide, #AluminumOxide, #ChlorineGases and, once in orbit, #mercury. When satellites are decommissioned five to 15 years later, they release metals as they vaporize. That’s injecting #pollutants into previously pristine parts of the #stratosphere, a highly sensitive system, and there’s very little understanding of the consequences."

We have a new publication on the calibration of #BlackCarbon monitors. We have done a systematic evaluation of almost all filter-based absorption photometers (FBAP) available vs. a photo-thermal interferometer (reference instrument).

✈️ Contrail cirrus are one of the main issues of aviation emission due to their positive radiative forcing. Researchers have found that sulfur and volatile organic compounds are the main cause of ice crystal formation – rather than soot as previously thought.

🧑🔬 Our last publication from last year:
We put together tens of studies on the mass absorption cross section (MAC) of atmospheric #BlackCarbon aerosols. Large uncertainties in MAC values are mostly due to artifacts of the measurement techniques.

We are glad to announce that we will be chairing a session at the 2026 International Aerosol Conference #IAC2026. The session will focus on the #standardisation and traceability of #BlackCarbon measurements using optical methods. I am happy to be doing this with my collaborators, Kostas Eleftheriadis and Yue Liu.
We look forward to receiving your contributions! 📄

Researchers quantify solar absorption by black carbon in fire clouds
"Black carbon injected into the lower stratosphere by recent pyroCb events in Canada and Australia have traveled around the globe, persisted for months, and altered dynamic circulation and radiative forcing across large regions "

The #IconOfTheSeas Is 250,000 Tons Of Floating #Carbon #Emissions Horror
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA), an average #cruiseship emits more #soot per day than 1 million cars. In fact, cruise ships make up just one percent of the world’s large boats, but account for more than six percent of the world’s #blackcarbon (soot) emissions.

#Smoke by #wildfires may also be connected with #"Earth’s radiation budget through absorption of incoming shortwave radiation" with potentially underestimated effects [3]. "Wildfires emit large amounts of #BlackCarbon and light-absorbing organic carbon, known as #BrownCarbon, into the #atmosphere" and [3] suggests that "a type of dark brown carbon contributes three-quarters of the short visible light absorption and half of the long visible light absorption"
