30°C is 303 Kelvin. Half of that is 151 Kelvin, which translates into a fairly mild -122°C!

New strategy to prevent global warming: just freeze all of the CO2 out of the air!

Wait, does it? Are joules in thermal energy per kelvin a purely linear relationship?

Fun fact: gas pressure changes linearly with temperature. If you make one of these plots at mild conditions you can extraplate the line down to zero pressure and measure where absolute zero temperature is

For the most part, it varies by material and state of matter, but assuming the chemical composition doesnt change and no material changes phase, then it is pretty close to linear in most materials.

Aka a cool 272 Rankine for our US folks.
