Climate change felt by satellites and space junk

Excerpt:

The findings recommend that manmade increases in carbon dioxide might be having impacts on the Earth that are bigger than anticipated, scientists added.
In the layers of environment closest to Earth, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, entraping heat from the sun. Rising levels of carbon dioxide due to human activity are bring about global warming of Earth's area. Nonetheless, in the highest reaches of the environment, carbon dioxide could in fact have a cooling impact. The main impacts of carbon dioxide up there arised from its accidents with oxygen atoms. These effects thrill carbon dioxide compounds, making them radiate heat. The density of carbon dioxide is too thin above elevations of about 30 miles for the compounds to recapture this heat, which indicates it mostly escapes to space, chilling the outermost environment.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
