As an argument it’s only negated by scale. The CO2 output of a single car has little local impact and spreads throughout the atmosphere causing negligible global damage. The CO2 output of global industry has a significant impact because of the sheer volume being pumped out is enough to start affecting global temperatures. Other gases emitted by vehicles and industry can be bigger problems even on a small scale because they can concentrate in the local area. The amount of pollutants in reentering batteries is not large enough to have an impact when diluted throughout the atmosphere. We’d need a lot more satellites for it to start becoming a major cause for concern.
