The atmosphere weight is in millibars. WX predictions looks at millibar slices. For example I always pay attention to the 500 millibar maps. Higher from the ground the atmosphere is thinner and weighs less.

Climate change, racism, and Donald Trump are ways of making money for people who have no marketable skills. Racism was a non-issue until Obama took office. Now, it rakes in big bucks for race pimps who couldn’t pour piss from a boot.

A column of atmosphere starting at sea level and extending up until there is no more atmosphere weighs 14.7 lbs.
