Because such cooling makes the planet's atmosphere contract, it can reduce drag on satellites and debris that orbit the earth, possibly having "adverse consequences for the orbital debris environment that is already unstable," the researchers wrote.

Just to get this straight ...

1. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to cool at high altitude

2. This causes the atmosphere to shrink

3. This causes less atmospheric drag on satellites

4. This is a bad thing

I used to mock Believers for claiming "the sky is falling down". Now
Believers are apparently claiming exactly this happens.

They are now beyond mockery; they have become parodies of themselves.

Very good. See Webb, All that you did without
invoking or needing any SR/GR crap at all.
So, Webb, you being otherwise quite rational,
what is in it for you that you still proselytize for
Einstein's utter shit that he himself recanted &
denied already more then 60 years ago....

What "new method" of "measuring" (quantifing increases) is being
claimed?
The rest is silly conjecture.

"because carbon dioxide molecules collide with oxygen atoms and
release heat into space."

Are these collisions proven to be inelastic? This in a region where
the mean free path is
measured in yards rather than microns, each molecule is in its own
eliptical orbit around
the earth's COG, and each molecule has it own temperature that cannot
be measured.
Just what "atmosphere" is "contracting"? Oh, what is there is no
longer there!

What unbelievable fantasy will the Climate Clowns produce next?

Sam steals, not quotes from any source whatsoever!

No Heat effects from CO2! Never, ever been demonstrated!
No Greenhouse effect! Falsified in 1906, by Lord Kelvin!
No Greenhouse gasses! No gas prevents convection!
No Radiative forcing! Hansen weird buzzwords!
No Positive feedbacks! Hansen plural buzzwords!
No Net heat increase! 0.6 Watt/m^2 is Hansen's fakery!
No Climate science! Piss poor Political science mabe!
No Science! Ever from Sam Wormley!
No!
I do deny that Climate Clowns use "any" science whatsoever!!
As Ben says, the Clowns deny science!

WRONG. If this really happened, then we would all be frozen from the
surface on up.

WRONG. all that stuff is going to hit earth anyway.
