It’s my new ~~panic spiral~~ pet theory for the end of days. There’s a possibility that this could fuck up our magnetosphere, leading to losing our ozone layer, which would then eventually lose us our atmosphere.

They were also afraid detonating a nuklear bomb could set the atmosphere on fire.

I think realistically we’re looking at the hole in the ozone layer grow again and MAYBE even a bit of Kessler Syndrome if every idiot with too much money makes their own sattelite WiFi
