No it does not confuse anything - the bit about pressure is a separate item and nothing to do with temperature argument preceding, beyond the physics that increased pressure increases the temperature of a medium.
Be sure to have an extra helping of Turkey and make the gal at Salon happy ...:)
Read your own post, please. This is what appeared: “(1000 millibars = temp at the surface)”. A millibar is a unit of pressure, not temperature. You also stated “There is no way that Venus has a balmy surface temp of 65.8 degrees Fahrenheit.”, when the original post refers to 66 degrees Celsius and makes no mention of Fahrenheit. Nor of Venus’s surface temperature, for that matter.
Not sure what that Salon reference is supposed to mean, but no doubt it’s extremely crushing.
I don’t feel like wasting more time on you. Go ahead and have the last word, and then tell yourself how brilliant you are, and how you got the best of the exchange.
