Climate change is inflating the troposphere like a balloon

The video explains the expansion of Earth's troposphere, the lowest part of the atmosphere, which has been increasing in height due to global warming and the shrinking of the stratosphere. The troposphere, which contains most of the atmosphere's moisture and heat, has expanded by 50 meters per decade from 1980 to 2000, and by 53.3 meters per decade since 2000. The shrinking of the stratosphere, caused by ozone-depleting gases, also contributes to this expansion. Global legislation has limited these gases, but their remnants still impact the stratosphere.
