Boyle's Law states that the volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure on it.

Pressure is the force per unit area acting on a substance. This force imparts energy to the substance and does work either by moving the surface of the substance inwards (reducing its volume) or if the force can't overcome the internal repulsion forces between the atoms, by causing the individual molecules to vibrate more. This vibration of molecules is directly related to the temperature of the substane so heat energy has been created.
In an ideal gas at constant temperature the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume so, for example, four times the pressure reduces the volume by a factor of four. This is called Boyle's Law.
If the volume is constant then the pressure is proportional to the absolute temperature (e.g., if the pressure triples so does the absolute temperature). This is often called the Pressure Law.

I'm sorry you don't understand what atmospheric pressure is.

Who funds the scientists?
Serious question!
Seems to me that we have Corporations in control of our government, so why is it so inconceivable to believe that a scientists results funded by these same corporations wouldn't or couldn't be skewed to reflect the desired results of the BIG MONEY that is funding their research?

Coming from the party of cutting education this doesn't surprise me. They get elected and often the first thing they do is cut the education budget, this has dumbed us down in enough states that America isn't globally competitive anymore.
Fox news told me global warming, climate change is a scam so my corporate handles can't be wrong. I bet he is against teaching critical thinking as well.
We spend more money per student than just about every other 1st world country, so where are we going wrong? Just throwing money at a problem isn't fixing it. It's the process that's the problem and the system, not the funding.

That was supposed to be in quotes but apparently capital Q's break the tag.

And you completely missed that the more pressure the more heat. Venus has 90 times the atmo pressure of earth. At this point you're trying to loophole science just to argue.
That is because when you measure temperature, you only measure a small sample area. If compress more molecules of gas with a constant temperature in that small area, you have a higher temperature in that area.

Everything on the surface of that planet is constantly under pressure from above.

Lookup Atmospheric pressure since you're so confused.

You also never fixed that guys math.
