, researchers from UCL, the University of Cambridge and Massachusetts Institute of Technology used a 3D model to explore the impact of rocket launches and re-entry in 2019, and the impact of projected space tourism scenarios based on the recent billionaire space race.
Study co-author Dr Eloise Marais said: “Rocket launches are routinely compared to greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from the aircraft industry, which we demonstrate in our work is erroneous. These data were then incorporated into a 3D atmospheric chemistry model to explore the impact on climate and the ozone layer.
The team found that, under a scenario of daily or weekly space tourism rocket launches, the impact on the stratospheric ozone layer threatens to undermine the recovery experienced after the successful implementation of the Montreal Protocol.
And stop using plastic straws, people. The earth needs your help. (In case anyone didn't recognize it. That's sarcasm.)
What the no flying f*ck?
And Gas cars does absolutely Nothing? Nor does Diesel cars? How about Cruise Ships? How about burning down all the food plants? No? How about the constant deliberate burning down of forests? Still No? My advise: WAKE TF UP!
elonmusk should look at this study from Cambridge and rethink his commitment to saving the human race from extinction.
Or just stop space tourism
