The more often I read Russell's paper, the more doubt I have about his evidence (I am sad to say), but I am checking out things.

I don't think, that if there is any lightning going on, which is supposedly cloud-to-cloud, there will be a lot of difference. Naturally, the different composition of the atmosphere will create different discharge strengths, and a different composition of the clouds will most likely give a different "capacitance". So, they might either be stronger or weaker (well, isn't that a nice conclusion).
