Um. No. The planets Uranus and Netpune are mainly comprised of methane and ammonia with some helium. There is no water ice on either but their moons likely have some if not dry ice.....
um no i said ice . not water ice

the ice giants - Google Search

The “ice giants” Uranus and Neptune are made primarily of heavier stuff, probably the next most abundant elements in the Sun – oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. For each giant planet the core is the “seed” around which it accreted nebular gas

Argument by Authority does not work in science
.
Really
So "The science of heat flow has been scientifically proven for at least 200 years." is not an argument by authority ?

In what year was the Dr. Holmes paper published? I bet it was some time in the 1950s or something.....
Do you know how to work a search engine ?

I am less inclined to offer assistance to those that dismiss facts out of hand without address them and then add crap like
"Reality readily contradicts what you have asserted and therefore your assertions are garbage, to put it mildly......"
'I don't care if you don't believe it but the scientific method has already beaten you years before you were born..... '

You provided nothing to counter the facts provided and then tossed out insults

So, look it up yourself




A 400K gradient is easily explained by upper atmosphere vs lower atmosphere. The upper atmosphere has a lower density of particles and so heat and light can escape more easily, hence a lower temperature.
And lower density >>> lower pressure
Boyles Law
pressure is directly proportional to density of a substance or increase in pressure will increase the density and vice-versa.

Near the surface, there is so much atmosphere (due to higher gravitational forces) above the probe that heat cannot escape the dense atmosphere. Pressure is not required here. You do not have much of a point.
So much atmospheres that Pressure is not required???
WTF ?

Pressure is force per unit area & in this case it is the force of gravity which is forcing all those molecules into the unit volume above the unit area i.e. causing the very high density & very high pressure

so much atmosphere forced down towards the surface by gravity CAUSES the pressure
it is not a matter of requiring pressure

Increasing the number of molecules per unit volume results in an increase in the number of molecular collisions >>> increased kinetic energy >>> heat
At the surface the pressure is 90 times greater than 60 kms up & that is what drives the 400 K temp increase despite a constant 95% CO2 atmospheric composition



The Venera probes were launched in the 1970s-80s, yes but radar observations of Venus have been made since the 1950s. There is also such as thing as hypotheses spawned by telescopic observations of the planet.
irrelevant unless you somehow think this negates the probes observations

Also consider that the Venera probes (all of them) were constructed of incredibly dense material to withstand the immense heat on the planet's surface. How did the Soviets know to design them that way if they did not already know the hellish terrain on the surface? Think about that.....
Hats off to Boris for making the probes work

However, again the probes construction is irrelevant unless you somehow think this negates the probes observations

observations your unable to explain with GHG theory & without using pressure

Now you've done it. :D
He's going to start asking if you don't believe in the Ideal Gas Law next.
(He's already reached the "spam the same graph or meme" stage, I see.)

Keep eating your peanuts from the peanut gallery
unless you have something relevant to add, your purpose here is just to attack me

shooo away now , the shows over
Pleasure Hound is incapable of explaining those experimental observations via the GHG theory

Pressure and density are only directly proportional if temperature and volume are constant. There are other factors here. You forgot to mention that.....

I don't deny atmospheric pressure. I deny that atmospheric pressure is contributing to local temperature. You don't seem to understand that.....

High density does not automatically mean high pressure. Pressure can also be changed by its temperature. If temperature is extremely low, then the pressure is very low, no matter what the substance's density. If you could live inside a block of lead, you would not be crushed to death, despite the high density of the metal......

Venus' surface gravity is about the same as Earth's (slightly smaller). Therefore, the force of Venus' surface gravity is nearly the same as Earth's for a given mass. Your hypothesis is garbage.....

Something else that causes an increased number of molecular collisions is temperature changes, even when keeping density constant. Yes, increased molecular collisions can also be caused by increased pressure, but so does increasing temperature. Temperature can be increased or decreased on its own.....

Pressure does not explain the temperature gradient based on altitude. It is caused by how quickly the heat can escape into space. At very high altitudes, heat can escape more easily because the molecular density is much lower. At much lower altitudes heat cannot escape into space because of the huge amount of molecules between the ground and space and a much higher density.

I will ask again (you didn't answer last time). How do explain the fact that overcast nights (lower air pressure) are warmer than the clear nights (higher air pressure)? I await your response.....

Temp samples by the probe show a 400 K difference between temps @ one atmosphere and 90 atmospheres both at a constant 96% CO2 composition

The only possible conclusion is something other than CO2 composition is responsible and that would be pressure


I don't deny atmospheric pressure. I deny that atmospheric pressure is contributing to local temperature. You don't seem to understand that.....
If 96% CO2 does not drive temperature then 400 parts per million does not drive temperature
Temperatures vary on earth on all kinds of time scales

Irrelevant to the FACT the atmosphere pressure is 90 times that of earth
more molecules in Venus atmosphere

Something else that causes an increased number of molecular collisions is temperature changes, even when keeping density constant.
The temperature at the surface is pretty constants, even on the dark side (53 day rotation )


Yes, increased molecular collisions can also be caused by increased pressure, but so does increasing temperature. Temperature can be increased or decreased on its own.....
On its own?
Not according to thermodynamics


Pressure does not explain the temperature gradient based on altitude.
sure it does
It is caused by how quickly the heat can escape into space. At very high altitudes, heat can escape more easily because the molecular density is much lower.
density and pressure are interdependent in a gas Boyles Law
pressure is force per unit area

At much lower altitudes heat cannot escape into space because of the huge amount of molecules between the ground and space and a much higher density.
Boyles Law

Just as soon as you explain how
Temp samples by the probe show a 400 K difference between temps @ one atmosphere and 90 atmospheres both at a constant 96% CO2 composition

Oh no you don't! You can't run away from my question. An overcast sky results in warmer temperatures (despite lower air pressure). Unless you can explain that with your hypothesis, it doesn't fit the observations.....sorry...you lose....

Not as big an emergency as the emergency of fuel shortage.

Its a much bigger, long term emergency vs a temporary, war caused shortage.
And if it results in less of your products burnt that's a win for the climate.

Thank the "fiscally responsible" Conservatives running the UK Government!! What is adding to the UK woes is the Brexit roadblocks that have impacted the economy and inflation!!

Spiralling inflation, crops left in the field and travel chaos: 10 reasons Brexit has been disastrous for Britain


Read the facts about the UK Gas Imports and Exports since Brexit. Their fuel imports from Non-EU nations has sky rocketed while their exports has been tapering off. The UK depended a lot on Norway for its fuel imports. Russia is a far smaller player in its imports. But look at how much it has costed the UK with purchasing their gaseous and liquified Natural Gas:


But let us not deflect from the fact that your denial about a Climate Emergency is a REALITY, especially as Europe as a whole is facing the worst drought in OVER 500 YEARS!!

Energy export will be dwindling to zero in about a decade. Imports from
Norway by then will not meet UK's need. UK's oil and production has been
sliding down along the Hubbert curve off its peak for years. UK will become
a third world country within 2 decades.

In a decade the dependancy on oil will have dwindled especially as other alternatives take hold.
The whole of the EU are moving away to alternates and there will be less of a demand for Oil from Norway.
In the meanwhile the USA are the second biggest exporters of oil to the UK and there is not a single ml of oil imported from Russia since June 2022.
We know that the biggest single catastrophe for the UK was Brexit. When around 40% of those who voted for Brexit know say that it was a mistake as they are much worse off, then the finger can be pointed just at one individual who championed it.

Once again the UK Climate Change is a REALITY. Even the Deniers are taking heed in that nation:

Carbon dioxide if that is what you are talking about is a green house gas
not a pollutant. So is methane which is an even more potent GHG. New Zealand
is one notorious methane emitter and its leader had the audacity to declare
climate emergency without a concrete plan of putting a lid on the emission of
their farting and burping livestock.

We have been dumping pollutants produced from fossil fuel
combustion into the atmosphere which is a serious concern.
But IMO it is nowhere as worrisome as the impact of all the
waste we've been dumping into the oceans.

If fossil fuel can be likened to cigarettes you have then mistaken a crisis
of addiction for a health crisis. It is like people hooked to smoking 2 packs a
day seeking out more cigarettes to assuage their addiction to nicotine while
awaiting a future cure for cancer. If the U.S. and Canada are to continue exporting
fossil fuel you can be assured that Saudi, Iran and Venezuela could also increase
their output with sufficient capital expenditure. If you believe demand of oil in the
west is going to drop soon you also can be assured that the rest of the world
and that is about 3 quarters of global population would be glad to buy up
all the unwanted hydrocarbons.

Nice attempt to shift blame.

The tobacco industry knew their products caused cancer so instead of doing something about the stuff they sold they went and hired lobbyists to create fake stories that tried to convince people the doctors were wrong.
Just like the oil industry knew in the '80's they were causing climate change so they hired those same lobbyists to convince people like johnlarue that the science isn't correct.

The knowledge of the damage of the products combined with actions to hide that information from the public are what makes the blame stick with the oil & gas industry.

The American Southwest is in a really bad drought....like 1,200 years bad. Of course the west is always dry, but we are reaching historic levels.
