In other words, how can organisms resist pressures of a thousand atmospheres, temperatures near boiling or freezing point, or saturated salt brines?

A study described here today at the American Geophysical Union's biennial Ocean Sciences Meeting shows that RNA's chemical building blocks fall apart within days to years at temperatures near boiling — a finding that poses problems for some origin of life theories, especially ones picturing that life arose in scalding settings such as deep - sea hydrothermal vents.

If the planet is only one Earth mass, Jenkins says, any life there might be near its end; the world would be on the verge of a runaway greenhouse effect, with gravity too weak to prevent its life - giving water from boiling off into space due to rising surface temperatures.

On Sept. 9, 2011, high temperatures tripped a transmission line near Yuma, Ariz., sparking a chain of events that shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant, caused the release of untreated sewage and required San Diego residents to boil their drinking water.

Birkeland currents are interesting, although they seem to be a possible correction to direct solar irradiance only at the poles and only in the ionosphere, which is already enormously hot — between 1500C and 2500C — but so tenuous that you wouldn't feel heat if you stuck your arm out into the near vacuum of the ionosphere, you'd feel intense cooling as your blood started to boil and ordinary thermometers would radiate heat away faster than they would equilibrate (and hence would read very cold temperatures).

Highly corrosive, strong mineral acids, like H2SO4, HNO3 and aqua regia, have absolutely no impact on ocean pH and are good for life even at near boiling temperatures.

As it turns out this lowers the latent heat capacity so much you can't get anywhere near the efficiency of choosing a higher boiling point which was an object lesson for me in why steam engines run at very high temperatures.

As we still slowly ascended... and the surface temperature of the soil fell to the freezing point the solar radiation became intenser... near the summit the temperature in a copper vessel, over which lay two sheets of plain window glass, rose above the boiling point of water, and it was certain that we could boil water by the solar rays in such a vessel among the snow fields.
