Space tourists could speed up global warming

A new study, accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters, predicts that soot emitted by rockets in the upper atmosphere would lead to significant disruption to the world's climatic system resulting in a net increase in temperatures.

The resulting computer models predict that the resulting stratospheric layer of rocket soot would remain relatively localised in latitude and altitude, meaning that the earth's surface could cool by as much as 0.7 degrees Celsius in some areas, while other areas would warm with Antarctica expected to see temperatures rise by up to 0.8 degrees Celsius.
