Abstract : Presented here is a simple and reliable method of accurately calculating the average near surface atmospheric temperature on all planetary bodies which possess a surface atmospheric pressure of over 0 . 69kPa , by the use of the molar mass version of the ideal gas law . This method requires a gas constant and the near - surface averages of only three gas parameters ; the atmospheric pressure , the atmospheric density and the mean molar mass . The accuracy of this method proves that all information on the effective plus the residual near - surface atmospheric temperature on planetary bodies with thick atmospheres , is automatically ' baked - in ' to the three mentioned gas parameters . It is also known that whenever an atmospheric pressure exceeds 10kPa , convection and other modes of energy transfer will totally dominate over radiative interactions in the transfer of energy , and that a rising thermal gradient always forms from that level . This rising thermal gradient continues down to the surface , and even below it if there is a depression or a mine - shaft present . This measured thermodynamic situation , coupled with other empirical science presented herein , mean that it is very likely that no one gas has an anomalous effect on atmospheric temperatures that is significantly more than any other gas . In short ; there is unlikely to be any significant net warming from the greenhouse effect on any planetary body in the parts of atmospheres which are >10kPa . Instead , it is proposed that the residual temperature difference between the effective temperature and the measured near - surface temperature , is a thermal enhancement caused by gravitationally - induced adiabatic auto - compression , powered by convection . A new null hypothesis of global warming or climate change is therefore proposed and argued for ; one which does not include any anomalous or net warming from greenhouse gases in the tropospheric atmospheres of any planetary body .
