Earth's lower atmosphere is expanding due to climate change
Live Science ^ | 12 November 2021 | Ben Turner

Earth's atmosphere is rising because of climate change, a new study shows.

Weather balloon measurements, taken in the Northern Hemisphere over the past 40 years, reveal that the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere — called the troposphere — has been expanding upward at a rate of roughly 164 feet (50 meters) per decade, and climate change is the cause, according to findings published Nov.r 5 in the journal Science Advances. ...

...Climate change isn't the only human-made driver of the rising tropopause. The stratosphere — the layer above the troposphere — is also shrinking....

This study sounds like a means to separate Taxpayers from their money by making conclusions in the rounding error, that can never be proven/disproven.

Now that they got it published, they are well on their way making a career out of it.

What tripe.

Here, take a gander at Auroral heating - this on Jupiter.

Solar influenced heating of the atmosphere is a *science fact" on Jupiter, but here on earth - Republicans driving SUVS....

And, if we spent $100 Trillion to fix GlowBull climate Change, we'd just find out that we had a new problem:

GlowBull Climate Sameness. And, if you think Climate Change cost a bit of dough to fix? Climate Sameness will cost $quad-rillions to fix.

"... the troposphere — has been expanding upward ..."

All of that hot air has been - for quite some time now - emanating
from the blabbering pie holes of the talking heads of the
mainstream mass media.

They are clearly a threat to the earth and to humanity in general.
Save the planet - turn them OFF.

Haarp and geo-engineering are the true suspects.

Ginning up one of same AFTER collecting and examining a buncha data is backwards Science.

Where is their control planet?
= = =

That would be Mercury.

After the humans wrecked it, it got real hot.

Is there anything Climate Change isn’t responsible for?

These people must expect the earth should have with perfect weather and endless 74 degree days. Then I read earth will be reduced to a piece of charcoal as the sun expands in the future until it vaporizes this planet. Point is the weather, this rock and the sun are changing daily and it’s always been changing from the beginning. How do they not know this?

"HAARP is a target of conspiracy theorists, who claim that it is capable of "weaponizing" weather. Commentators and scientists say that advocates of this theory are uninformed, as claims made fall well outside the abilities of the facility, if not the scope of natural science.[5][6]" So says Marxist Wikipedia anyway.

Earth’s atmosphere is rising because of climate change.

Yea boys and girls! The humans have saved the planet! The earth’s atmosphere was lowering and collapsing and we stopped that. Yea! Exhale harder! Drive harder! Keep saving the planet.

From the article: “Scientists are still not sure how a rising tropopause will influence the climate or weather, although it could force planes to fly higher in the atmosphere to avoid turbulence.” So what is the problem? Pure prognostication, pure unadulterated crap. Their paycheck depends on this crap and yet these clowns are immune from criticism. Nonsense.

Won’t somebody please think of the stratosphere?
