Climate Change to Exacerbate Geomagnetic Storm Risks to Satellites
A study in Geophysical Research Letters found that climate change will worsen the impact of geomagnetic storms on satellites by making the upper atmosphere less dense, potentially tripling density spikes during storms and jeopardizing global communication and navigation systems.
