You brought up my knowledge and/or capability of understanding thermodynamics. I don't believe I've ever mentioned it before on these forums (certainly not in a long time), nor have I used it to assert one thing or another.
Fair enough...I think I what I said was I was unsure of my ability to present something cognisant for you and how much of a explanation you desired. You do seem a bit sensitive about it though so my bad. I thought I was trying to answer someone with a honest question. If it was flippant or somehow besmirched your honour...again...my apologies.

... 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?
I think you know by now marcus that I dont have a marxist bone in my body. Do I lean left on somethings? Probably. Do I lean right on somethings? Probably. I am happy you are at least acknowledging there might be a chance of a pollution problem. And there is no conflation..I am not confusing one 'problem' or idea with another. I was taking a question and doing my best to answer it in laymans terms so someone could wrap their head around the concept. Are the data points humanity has collected in the short time we as a species have understood there is such a thing as science matter? Possibly. Look at this way...has the current run up of bitcoins price looked like what we have experience in the past? Not exactly...the same goes for these data points collected about the environment...it does not quite look like what is expected. For me..that sets off a few warning bells and suggests a closer eye should be kept on it. Does the closed system of Earth orbiting around a star break for a short time every couple of hundred million years? You bet it does. That does not prove that the theory of thermodynamics is broken. In your defense..most theories mankind has ever had has been supplanted by yet another. So my mind remains open and I hope yours does too.
My point was and remains that I think we can do a better job at taking care of the boat we all live in.
