Yeah, like everything, plasma is a relative thing.  When you have electricity mixed with air you have a slight plasma.  Mix some moisture into it and you have a slightly stronger plasma due to the electromagnetic effects of water's high surface tension.  Hit that moist plasma with wind shear, and you cause spinning of the microdroplets, maximizing surface tension, and that creates the plasma that underies jet streams, tornadoes, and hurricanes. 

It's no big deal.  But people like to be dogmatic.  They want simple rules.  Well, reality doesn't comply with simplicity.  Reality is relativistic. The siimpletons need to take a chill pill and learn to think relativistically.

Yeah, like relatively hot as in tens of thousands of degrees.

And relatively cool too, as in the plasma of tornadoes.  You agree, of course, right?

If there were plasma in the lower atmosphere, radio would not work and
since it obviously does your "theory" is obviously nonsense.
