How to ignite the atmosphere?

+0
−0

Before the first nuclear weapon was dropped, a scientist (whose name has escaped me) had a thought: could it ignite the atmosphere? But this was during World War II, when they didn't have the maths it would take to determine whether they could have ignited the atmosphere, so they dropped it anyway.

How would one ignite the atmosphere? How plausible is it, and how easy would it be for me to do this?
