That’s one of the ways proposed for terraforming Venus. Put in a sun shield to freeze the planet, let the CO2 snow down, then process the CO2 into something that can sequester it away so it doesn’t just go back into the atmosphere after removing the sun shield.
Of course none of that is technically possible right now, but it’s a lot easier on a planet that has no (known) life to destroy while working through the process.
30°C is 303 Kelvin. Half of that is 151 Kelvin, which translates into a fairly mild -122°C!
Takes out hockey stick
New strategy to prevent global warming: just freeze all of the CO2 out of the air!

That sounds great. I bet it would be even easier to do on earth. If anyone gave a shit.
Aka a cool 272 Rankine for our US folks.
I would be willing to bet there are more people in the US using Kelvin in their jobs than Rankine.
Lb-mole? That one I’m not sure.
To me, these wanna-be scientific units are weird, like, just use metric at that point 😅
Also 1000th of an inch. Like, come on! You’re just teasing us
