You can't want to have a cleaner, healthier environment and still get plastic straws and containers. There are and will be sacrifices we are all going to have to make.

Nothing wrong with disputing claims. But you need to be on the same level as the scientists who have spent significant amounts of their lives studying these topics. I guarantee you no layperson, meaning myself, you, or 99.9% of people who comment on this post (even most posts on Reddit or any other social media) are not qualified in the slightest to be disputing it. I was a scientific researcher, and that shit is hard, the majority of people would zone out once things stop being nice cute concepts to explain or overly simplified analogies. It isn't as simple as writing a "gotcha" comment and it shouldn't be; study of climate change is the study of one of the most, if not the most, complex system of variables humans have ever tried to conceptualize.
What I'm getting at is people who aren't actively involved in this, or any other scientific topic, are simply unequipped to present their own opinions as disputes because they have not developed the tools to do so. If you or anyone had, yoy would not be making smartass reddit comments and instead would be publishing your own paper and getting it peer-reviewed.

There is overwhelming evidence that the climate of the upper atmosphere is changing. While the troposphere shows a global warming trend, the middle and upper atmosphere (stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere) have been cooling (e.g., Cnossen, 2012; Laštovička et al., 2006). This cooling results in thermal contraction, resulting in a lowering of ionospheric layers (Bremer et al., 2012; Rishbeth & Roble, 1992) and a reduction in thermosphere density at fixed height (Emmert, 2015; Keating et al., 2000; Weng et al., 2020). The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is thought to be the main driver of the global mean cooling and contraction of the upper atmosphere (e.g., Laštovička et al., 2006), with other trace gases playing a relatively minor role (Qian et al., 2013)

You didn't read the article because it specifically states that when the lower atmosphere is heated the upper atmosphere experiences the opposite. They have sources, you don't. They are scientists, you clearly are not. Stop running your mouth and let the people who know what they're doing do their work, because you don't have the answers.

Nuts the amount of climate change deniers on a science focused subreddit. Y'all need to learn to shut your mouths and listen rather saying whatever "feels right" to you.

Here's the problem with your comment. You didn't read the article at all and are acting like a fuckin know it all.

Falcon 9 is still very much current generation. I look forward to starship but it's still many years away from being commercially used.
