Show me where you can get more energy out of a system then you put into it.
Who says you do? I don't care about your silly come ons. ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! Where does the energy that GHGs trap go, if not to heat the earth? Quit dodging the issue.
Answer my question first. You are saying that you can put 100 units of energy into a system and get 101 units out. The 2nd law says that is impossible. That would mean you can create a perpetual motion machine.
Real fucking dumb statements on you part, Walleyes. You know full well that is not what is being stated. What is being stated is that you have 100 incoming, and normally, 40 outgoing, 60 retained. Except now we have put GHGs into the atmosphere that absorb more energy, so instead of 40 outgoing, you have only 35, with 65 retained. Which means, since you are retaining more energy, the area retaining it, the atmosphere and ocean, are getting warmer.
I realize that the concept is a bit over you head, but if you spend a few hours considering it, you might eventually grasp the concept. ..........Maybe
