A column of atmosphere starting at sea level and extending up until there is no more atmosphere weighs 14.7 lbs.
That depends on what planet you're on.
On every planet with an atmosphere, the closer you are to the surface the higher the pressure, thicker the atmosphere, the greater the weight.
This is why chimneys work. The air pressure at the top is less than the air pressure on the bottom where the fire is, so there is an updraft. This only works if the chimney is air tight in it's entire length.
Bump for later.
At sea level, at a temperature of 15°C, a cubic meter of atmosphere weighs 1.225 kilogram, or 2.70 pounds.
A cubic yard of atmosphere under the same conditions weighs 0.937 kilograms, or 2.06 pounds.
Temperature solubility feedback though. The modeling is not easy.
2. CO2 is .04% of that which is 720 billion tons.
Forgive me because I'm not good at math, but if the total atmosphere weighs 1.8 billion tons and CO2 is 720 billion tons, is something off here? Did you perhaps have a typo and the total atmosphere is 1.8 trillion tons? Thanks for any clarification you can offer.
You're right. They will just morph it into some other phrasing. First it was global cooling, then global warming, then the very amorphous "climate change." The climate changes every single day, so what the heck they mean by "climate change" is anyone's guess. Literally a guess.

I wish I could say I thought this would get any largesr exposure but it won’t.
In other words don’t expect Ivanka to going into the elevator with this guy.
And no hope for any MSM sadly.
Yeah, otherwise your house burns down and there are no more fires in the place.
I will await the publication of the paper and hope that he is correct. But, I will note that the guy is a hoot. He uses a term, QUANGO - which is and acronym used derisively by the British for "quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization."
Quangos it turns out are a nuisance. According to the UK Tax Payers Alliance, in the year 2006-07, tax payers funded 1,162 Quangos at a cost of nearly £64bn; equivalent to £2,550 per household.
Examples of quangos include: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Advisory Body, Learning & Skills Improvement Service, the Institute for Learning, and Standards and Verification UK, Carbon Trust (which it is noted could be merged into new UK Green Investment Bank).
The term was first used, actually in the US by the Carnegie Foundation. I would be curious to know if quangos are a significant issue here. I would note that £2,550 per household to support quangos in UK is an alarming amount of money.
Those people are like Michael Myers from Halloween. You keep killing them and they keep coming back.
Excellent post.
Almost as if the plants were designed(or adapted) to deal with large variations in 'climate'.

funny thing about evolution. It’s a lot more robust and adaptive than people give it credit for.
The left will refuse, absolutely REFUSE to give up the "green" or "climate" efforts.
I'm truly not good at math, so don't understand that. The original post said 1,800,000 billion for the first number and 720 billion for the second number. Isn't 1,800,000 written numerically the same as one million, 800 thousand written textually? If yes, isn't the first number 1.8 trillion, not billion? If yes, then when written numerically, shouldn't it be 1,800,000,000?
Yes; but the composition of the atmosphere (as well as its height) differs from planet to planet; as does the force of gravity. ;-)
