Meanwhile we know that good old fashioned air as we know it with its 0.04% CO2 content, will heat up to the ignition point of diesel at around 800 degrees C at around 50 bar pressure without any input from the Sun and any greenhouse effect at all.
So Venus isn’t doing too bad with a 90% CO2 atmospheric content, at 90 bar pressure and 30 million miles closer to the Sun and only 470 degrees C.Um - it’s the rapid increase in pressure (kinetic energy converted to heat) that causes compressed air to get hot, not the static pressure.
The temperature at the top of Kilimanjaro v at its base says different.Where else do we get snow near the equator and why not.
