If you think CO2 emissions are a problem for our planet, take a close-up look of this image. Yes, that is a representation of the real space junk floating around the earth, more officially known as "orbital debris."
Don't believe your eyes? Check out this blurb from NASA's Orbital Debris Program Office and this link to other disturbing images.
“The following graphics are computer generated images of objects in Earth orbit that are currently being tracked. Approximately 95% of the objects in this illustration are orbital debris, i.e., not functional satellites. The dots represent the current location of each item.”
