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

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 extrapolate the line down to zero pressure and measure where absolute zero temperature is
