Negative. I'm speaking of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and top three or four kilometers of the lithosphere (if you have a specific depth to which you normally operate we can go with that).
I understand thermodynamics and thank you for your concern. I am pleased that you understand how the 2nd LoT is expressed, but you don't seem to understand the principle in practice. I imagine that you understand that if you turn on an oven, all of the volume increases in temperature, not just one corner or the part in the back while other parts remain the same temperature. If that were to happen, it would violate the 2nd LoT.
When I asked you if this is what you were claiming about the earth, i.e. the surface temperature increases but not everything else, you became confused and didn't understand what I was asking or how the 2nd LoT was involved.
Do you think you could specify unambiguously what is supposedly occurring with Global Warming such that a rational adult doesn't have to ask a boatload of clarification questions?
Oh, and I'll thank you in advance for ensuring adherence to thermodynamics by accounting for all additional energy whenever you specify an increase in temperature.
Actually, it states that in a CLOSED system, the amount of energy available to perform work strictly decreases over time. Where your thought-masters are going to lead you astray is on the page of the playbook where they tell you to say "but the earth isn't a closed system!". That's when they will have set you up to take the fall because they don't care about you. I know that's exactly what you are poised to do, without having given any thought to how you are going to respond when I give you the correct answer ... that reveals that you don't understand thermodynamics.
Well, let's get to it. Go ahead, exclaim that "the earth is not a closed system" and start celebrating that surely you have me stumped.I'll be standing by.
