Incoming radiation initially converts surface materials to gaseous form by heating them.

Scientists now believe that the observed temperature inversion in the atmosphere of WASP - 33b, which has about four - and - a-half times the mass of Jupiter, is caused by titanium oxide — one of the few compounds that are strong absorbers of visible and ultraviolet radiation and capable of remaining in gaseous form in an atmosphere as hot as that of WASP - 33b.

Unfortunately, one of the consistent contaminants is mercury, and the heating process allows it to escape into the atmosphere in gaseous form.

To get around these limitations, scientists have worked for years on new ways of converting sunlight into chemical energy, artificial forms of photosynthesis that would store solar energy in liquid or gaseous form — a «solar fuel.»

Perhaps CO2 (even in gaseous form) could do the job too.

It showed how «gases, in combining and acquiring a liquid form, evolve sufficient force to decompose a similar liquid and cause it to acquire a gaseous form».

The latter, of course, stems from a complete lack of understanding of the effect of CO2 on the world's climate, which is derived from models that do not even consider the effect of the world's main climate control mechanism, namely the energy transfer between water in solid, liquid and gaseous forms.
