We apply the hierarchical clustering model and non-linear perturbation theory to the cosmological density and temperature fields. This allows us to calculate the intergalactic gas pressure power spectrum, SZ anisotropy power spectrum, skewness and related statistics. Then we show the effect of the non-gravitational heating. Our model confirms recent simulations yielding mass weighted gas temperature \bar{T}_g \sim 0.35 keV and reproduces the power spectra found in these simulations. While the SZ effect contains only angular information, we show that it is possible to extract the full time resolved gas pressure power spectrum when combined with galaxy photometric redshift surveys by using a variation on the cross-correlation. This method further allows the disentanglement of the gravitational and the non-gravitational heating.
