{See Ned Nikolov} "Ever wondered, what the Earth's surface temperatures would be under different atmospheric pressures?"
"This graph shows results from the latest extended NZ planetary temperature model based on the best available NASA data for Venus, the Moon, Earth, Mars, Titan and Triton. These planetary bodies were used to derive universal thermodynamic relationships (valid over a huge range of physical environments) between surface temperatures one hand and pressure, atmospheric density & incoming solar radiation on the other."
"The predictions for Earth depicted here are so accurate that you can take them to bank, as the saying goes."
The green curve shows average latitudinal temperatures under the current pressure (0.9855 bar).
"The overall pattern is that an increasing atmospheric pressure raises the mean global temperature while reducing the latitudinal temperature gradients at the same time. Thus, the higher the total pressure, the more isothermal the planet becomes! That's because molar air density increases with pressure, and a higher density makes the meridional heat transport more efficient due to the presence of large number of molecules per cubic meter carrying heat. Venus with its 93 bar of surface pressure is an example of an isothermal planet surface caused by a very high atmospheric molar density... The relationships are strongly non-linear, however."

Based on considerable EXPERT TESTIMONY the Net Zero shenanigans and the demonisation of Carbon Dioxide are being shown to be false {gods?} The full expert Testimony is available as a PDF at this LINK - CLICK HERE
Their preface to their report is printed here: "We are career physicists who have specialized in radiation physics, dynamic heat transfer and computer modelling for decades, subjects directly relevant to the global warming debate. Each of us has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers, many on the science of climate or closely related subjects. Our curricula vitae are attached in the appendix."
"In our opinion, the District Court of The Hague findings that “dangerous” climate change and extreme weather are caused by CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are contradicted by the scientific method and only supported by the unscientific methods of government opinions, consensus, peer review, and cherry-picked or falsified data."
"Science demonstrates fossil fuels and CO2 will not cause dangerous climate change. Rather, there will be disastrous consequences for people worldwide if fossil fuels and CO2 emissions are reduced to “net zero,” including mass starvation."
What today's band of environmentalists claim {and we consider ourselves to be both environmentalists AND energy efficiency 'experts'} is that CO2 and (Methane) CH4 are bad for the environment, so should be severely limited. In addition these false scientific claims made by politicians {as opposed to expert physical scientists) - and repeated to indoctrinate the general population - are the basis of the fraudulent Net Zero Concepts. We have written about this several times in the past Net ZERO - They haven't a Clue and Cold Feet about Net Zero - additionally the misnomer of "FOSSIL FUEL" feeds into this misinformation paradigm. Our article about huge volumes of Hydro-Carbons on Titan, a moon orbiting Saturn clearly puts the concept of "Fossil Fuel" to the test - and it patently fails.

Titan's Surface Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth
Don't take our word so this statement, check out JPL/NASA {Jet Propulsion Laboratory, since 13th Feb 2008!} LINK HERE
After reading this we have to ask the question: What is a Fossil Fuel? Or should we investigate the Abiotic Generation of Hydro-Carbons {citation below} on Titan and the Earth?
From the JPL 2008 article: "Saturn's moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth", according to new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
Saturn's orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and dunes.
The new findings from the study led by Ralph Lorenz, Cassini radar team member from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md., are reported in the Jan. 29 issue of the Geophysical Research Letters."Titan is just covered in carbon-bearing material -- it's a giant factory of organic chemicals," said Lorenz.
"This vast carbon inventory is an important window into the geology and climate history of Titan.

The SUN, Sol, RA to the Egyptians, Our Local Star - classified as a Yellow Dwarf, so not very big in the Universe.
But our Sun is the dominant body in our local Solar System, Earth is a mere speck compared to our Yellow Dwarf STAR. The image, needs to be shown in every school, college and university. In addition it needs to be seen in context of all the Climate Alarmism, so frequently reported in all media, government and educational output.
When it comes to planet Earth, the most important source of light, heat, and energy actually comes from beyond our world. It’s the Sun that is the driver of the Earth’s energy balance, rather than the internal heat given off by the planet itself from sources like gravitational contraction and radioactive decays. The energy from the Sun keeps temperatures from freezing all across the planet, providing us with temperatures that allow liquid water on Earth’s surface, and that are essential to the life processes of nearly every organism extant on our world today.
And yet, it’s only within the last 200 years that humanity has even understood how much energy, overall, the Sun actually produces. Considering all of the scientific advances that came afterward, including the development of stellar, quantum, and nuclear physics, as well as the understanding of the subatomic fusion reactions that power the Sun, it might seem like a trivial matter to simply answer the question of “How much energy does the Sun produce?”
In their book "The Role of the Sun in Climate Change" Douglas V Hoyt and Kenneth H Shatten, argue that the forcing "effects" of volcanic aerosols, anthropogenic aerosols, and greenhouse gas warming - are just theories; {see citation after the "READ MORE" section}
"...and we will treat these theories with skepticism, .......as we do for SOLAR FORCING of climate"

On November 2, Alberta’s ruling United Conservative Party (UCP) approved a resolution stating, in part:
“CO2 is a nutrient foundational for all life on Earth…The earth needs more CO2 to support life and to increase plant yields, both of which contribute to the Health and Prosperity [sic] of all Albertans.”
A UCP member speaking in favor of the resolution stated:
“According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide.”
The resolution recommended that the Government of Alberta should:
- Abandon Net Zero targets
- Remove the designation of CO2 as a pollutant
- Recognize that CO2 is a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth
As you can imagine, this did not sit well with the climate alarmist community. DeSmog Blog called us “the notorious CO2 Coalition.” Another stated:
“The CO2 Coalition, an organization that promotes the view of carbon dioxide as beneficial, appears to have influenced Resolution 12. During the UCP’s annual general meeting, a member advocating for the resolution cited the CO2 Coalition, stating that ‘higher CO₂ levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide.’ This reference suggests that the CO2 Coalition’s materials and messaging contributed to shaping the arguments and rationale behind the UCP’s decision to reclassify CO₂ and abandon net-zero emission targets.”
But wait… there’s more:
“The US-based Coalition must be squirming in their dampened seats in excitement at having the home of the oil sands not just be a hot bed of interest in their antediluvian, a-scientific perspective, but actually changing the official policy of the ruling party. I’m sure that gasoline soaked paper bags were being passed around at what passes for the Coalition’s headquarters, huffing cancer-causing hydrocarbons clearly being their drug of choice.”
