I am not sure I can teach you the whole concept of thermodynamics in a reasonable amount of time in this thread.
That's fine. I believe my o-level and a-level teachers and the lecturers that contributed to my physics degree have you covered.
Then why ask? And I am not particularly impressed with degrees bragged about on a internet forum to be honest. All I am getting from quite a few of you is that you just want to argue. I am done at this point. Zero sum game.

Good night.
... nobody is getting argumentative except you, when you got called on the bogus "earth is a closed system" claim ... probably the original sin of that quasi-religious pseudo-science know as "climate science"
Its all good...I dont want to be more of a dick than I already have. Fuck the maths of it all and just go outside and look around...really look. Things are changing...things have changed just in my lifetime. I have seen it with mine own eye. How many species have gone extinct the last 100 years...how many tons of toxic waste has been dumped into land fills and our oceans? How many extreme weather events happened over the last 20 years? How many glaciers have melted affecting water supply..how much have the polar caps melted affecting the jet streams? Putting a stick in a pot and stirring things around and expecting no noticeable effects is ludicrous in my opinion. My whole point was that I think we can do better. Plain and simple.
... and here you've engaged in another of the green marxism misinformation tactics, conflating many different pollution problems, some real, some ill-perceived anecodotes, into a mish-mash of "the earth is ending, zomg!" to justify some crazy idea that shutting down C02, CH4 emissions will 'cool' the warming 'earth' ... a) it's not proven it is even warming particularly that much recently or b) that it is due to increases in "greenhouses gases" and by how much and by which percentage of the gases that are anthropogenic.
... Earth has always had extreme weather events, statistically the last 20 years are not particularly unusual in the recorded history, which is exceedingly short, and the geologic record suggests there have been far greater extremes in weather
... the meteor that hit the Yucatan penisula and wiped out the dinosaurs sent a tidal wave 1500m high! into the south coast of the USA and sent up a plume of debris into the atmosphere that blocked out sunlight for 10 years ... want to explain how relatively dangerous humans are to the earth's closed system is again?
So the earth is supposedly 1.2C above per-industrial temperatures, no date is ever given for the end of the pre-industrial era.
Lets assume it was 1750.
Dutch Inventor Fahrenheit had developed a fairly accurate mercury thermometer by this date.
While the two fixed points of calibration, freezing and boiling point were assumed to be accurate the points between these two were merely interpolated.
These early capillary tubes varied in diameter throughout their length and affected accuracy, a variation of a few degrees was certainly possible.
No standard method of recording air temperatures was in place for another 100 years into the industrial revolution, when Thomas Stevenson in 1864 developed his Stevenson's screen which standardized how temps were measured. In a slatted white box 4 to 6 feet above ground level.
Whilst with modern technology and satellite surveillance, earths average temperatures can be published with certain accuracy, those of pre industrial times cannot. There is insufficient and accurate enough data to do so and to publish as fact the figure of a 1.2C difference is disingenuous.
The problem is the earth was really warm with no ice caps and we can all argue that we are or are not going back to that point.
But we are not doing simple basic moves.
Solar
solar
solar
solar
solar
solar
mine coal and store it do not burn it.
That simple move is just in case the sun gets colder.
At the moment the sun is warm and giving use 'free' energy .
Burning coal is moron move.
What happens if the sun cools a lot and solar truly sucks. forcing more coal to be used. oh that's right we were burning it when we had plenty of 'free' sun.
The above idea to put solar on every roof top means we burn less coal.
We mine the same and store it just in case we get cold and not much sun.
Unfortunately the idea above will never happen.
Due to the false fight over whether or not global warming is real and caused by people.
It does not matter either way yes to global warming or no to global warming my plan above is sound.Yet no one talks about on the left or the right.
So we are fucked and will get fucked more.
While the rich have mars and moon bases incase the earth has a really bad crash. In 50-100 years.
