Not exact matches

There is no reason to suppose that molecules higher in the atmosphere will, on average, have lower kinetic energy.

He appears to think it's fine that molecules in the upper shell have more total energy, on average, than molecules in the lower shell so long as average kinetic energy is the same.

This is something that you have denied was possible on the ground that (allegedly) a gas can't have a lower density, the same average molecular kinetic energy, and yet the same temperature.
