Nobody is actually talking about this either. I haven't encountered any discussions about it at all except our own private chats.
But again, it's easy to dismiss because we didn't have the technology to measure it 200 years ago.
@Moon graph shows the atmosphere getting *taller*.
There is a phenomenon I didn't know about until recently. The atmosphere is taller at the equator. That's why storm systems behave the way they do in the midwest (and similar in South America, etc).
Violent storms happen across the bible belt / tornado alley from hot and cold fronts being crushed together -- compressed -- because they have to coexist in a smaller space. I've always known it was due to mixing of the bodies of air, but they don't teach you in school that the atmosphere height is a major factor.
So think about it. Higher atmosphere at the equator, more energy it can store... what happens next?
