#Space junk falls back to Earth faster as #sunspot numbers climb
Objects lose altitude faster once sunspot counts reach roughly 70% of their cycle peak
As #solarcycles reach their peak — signaled by numbers of sunspots appearing on the #sun’s surface — #satellites and other objects in low Earth orbit lose altitude more quickly. Understanding the sun’s role in orbital decay could be a boon to space operations planning, the team says.

CW: Factors affecting global climate
This month’s record, and the longer recent period of warmth, are driven by a collection of several man-made* and natural factors acting together.
- anthropogenic global warming
- El niño/ la niña
- Solar cycles
- volcanic eruption of Hunga-Tonga
- cleaner marine fuelsFirstly, man-made* global warming has been raising the Earth’s temperature by about 0.19 °C/decade (0.34 °F/decade). This is a direct consequence of the accumulation of additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. This is the primary factor responsible for long-term warming.
(Probably you know this already, but I liked especially the other factors, as there is often talk about them, but seldom these factors are compared...)

* note: usually I would edit the quote to avoid "man-made", but in this case it makes sense: most fossil executives and heads of states are and were proud ... dicks?

This type of #denialist lie only works on those who don't know how #SolarCycles work, and who aren't really aware of the difference between #weather and #climate - you need to look at and interval of at least 30 years to say anything significant at all about climate.
