"The returned mass from human-made orbital objects has increased considerably in recent years, and the mass subject to destructive breakup in the upper atmosphere currently exceeds 600 metric tons per year." (with still-unknown consequences for the energy balance of the #atmosphere)

Des scientifiques de l’atmosphère et du climat de notre école montrent que les particules biologiques pourraient contribuer aux inondations et aux tempêtes hivernales, en raison de leur influence sur la formation de glace dans les nuages. Leur étude appelle à une mise à jour des modèles climatiques et météorologiques.

Cool article showing how the Gulf stream conveyor belt is not responsible for most of Europe's mild winters.
The Gulf stream warms winters by a couple degrees, while general seasonal ocean heat lag combined with a conveniently positioned large north-south atmospheric wave created by the Rocky mountains make up for the remaining 10-15 C difference between Northern Europe and Nova Scotia.

Interesting to look back at this five months later ... here's what's currently happening today in terms of decentralization the ATmosphere.
@rudyfraser.com announced today that Blacksy feeds and moderation service are now powered by our own atproto relay -- and it's an independent implementation, not using Bluesky's reference code. It's really worth reading the thread, which has a great analogy for how a relay enables custom feeds.
@edavis.dev has configured deer.social (a third-party app) to to point to a self-hosted bsky appview which reads from a self-hosted relay which subscribes to a self-hosted PDS which is where this -- as he says, "Bluesky independent from Bluesky".
@bnewbold published A Full-Network Relay for $34 a Month, updating his post from last summer. The network size has increased by close to an order of magnitude since his first post; the cost of a realy
#FreeOurFeeds is donating a $50K to the AT Community Fund to support the #IndieSky working group. The notes from last week's Ahoy IndieSky Europe give a sense of the energy here -- and also link to a bunch of other projects that sure look decentralized to me and discusses the prospects of Eurosky.
Of course, like I said in the article,
""Decentralization" means different things to different people. As the links in the Appendix highlight, people who are focusing on the (very real) concentration of power in the ATmosphere today, or the potentially-centralizing architecture of AT, find it more useful to describe Bluesky as centralized."
And the power concentration -- or "operational centralization" as Bluesky folks were calling it at the ATmosphere Conference -- is still very real. Bluesky still runs almost all of the infrastructure for the ATmosphere, and it's by far the most popular app, and most other apps (as well as Bluesky) use the Bluesky AppView, Relay, and labeler.
Then again, that's clearly in the process of changing, and it'll be interesting to see how it looks six months or a year from now.

"Satellites in low-Earth orbit eventually have to come down, and companies rely on the upper atmosphere to act as a waste incinerator. That’s exposed a blind spot in environmental laws: They only deal with pollution from human activities near Earth’s surface. But just as carbon dioxide and ozone-destroying compounds drifting up have created problems, so too can pollutants raining down at ever-increasing rates."
