1000s of satellites are irrelevant to atmospheric pollution. The numbers are so small compared to the vast size of the atmosphere it isn’t really a concern to worry about.
Atmospheric pollution from earth based sources is different because it’s something that is being done in the scale of billions of people, not 1000s, and CO2 doesn’t naturally disappear from the atmosphere over time and is growing decade after decade.
