Mitigating the Effects of Rapid Upper Atmosphere Cooling

The Earth's upper atmosphere is cooling at a rate more than 10 times faster than natural rates due to human-caused climate change. This rapid cooling is caused by CO₂ trapping heat near the Earth's surface and making the stratosphere radiate infrared energy into space more efficiently. This phenomenon has significant implications for satellite operations and the Earth's climate system. Effective strategies are needed to address the consequences of this rapid cooling.
