SSDD- why would I not agree with konradv's statement? "entropy of a closed system doesnt decrease" is a very good way of putting it.
So you believe that the second law only applies to closed systems and is not at work in open systems? You believe that it is a law of systems and not a law of nature? If that is what you believe, then it goes a long way towards explaining how you got to where you are.
of course the earth and its atmosphere arent really a closed system, as energy is just flowing through it. one of your problems in understanding thermodynamics is that you consider any individual interaction as a system. quantum mechanics arose because looking at smaller and smaller things led to absurdities.
It seems that you know that you are wrong Ian, and you must know that observation tells you that the physics at work in the atmosphere are not as you spend so much time insisting otherwise, and you must know that even in the very unlikely event that the effects you believe in do exist, you have so far overestimated their impact that you have entered into the realm of (to use your word) the absurd.
What is the point of your argument other than to grasp some fleetingly small particle of "I'm right"? In the big picture, you and your hypothesis are obviously wrong. Every day, observation tells us both that you are wrong. Are you so proud that you would rather go down in intellectual flames clinging to an unprovable subatomic particle of "I'm right" rather than simply acknowledge that your argument is moot because in the real world, the world that doesn't operate like questionable mathematical models or computer models based on questionable mathematical models you and your hypothesis are wrong?
