"Missing data is a problem for scientists trying to explain the Earth's climate to politicians and business leaders who make decisions on what to do about climate change. While the data loss is currently small, scientists say the problem will only get worse over time as space debris increases. 'Things will get worse before they get better,' said the NASA scientists in [a] 2018 report that assessed debris maneuvers."

"Researchers project that active #satellites could skyrocket to 1,00,000 before stabilising, a threshold considered the 'carrying capacity' of the #LEO. This limit, where collision risks become significant, could be reached by 2050 at current launch rates. ... Scientists are urging a slowdown in launches until global regulations can address these issues.”

"'It’s stuff between one centimeter and 10 that we’re really worried about because we can’t see that stuff. I’m worried about astronauts. They’re exposed when they’re doing their spacewalks, and a piece of debris that size can go right through them.'"

"During the conference launch, Joanne Wheeler, Director of ESSI, highlighted a crucial yet often overlooked aspect, namely: 'Space is part of our Earth’s ecosystem – our home,' and 'What we do in space is an extension of our life on Earth.'"

And at least a little good news about space.
Voluntary actions like this, implemented consistently, may be the only option for avoiding impending catastrophe in LEO.
