As I said, that this planet is a closed system does not matter.
By the way, a closed system isn't really a closed system. It is defined as one in which matter can not be exchanged, BUT ENERGY CAN.
An ISOLATED system is one in which both matter and energy can not leave or come in, and it is only in this system that entropy will increase, no matter what.
In a closed system, entropy has the ability to decrease.
In other words YWC, you have been citing an isolated system, not a closed system. So stop pretending. You are mischaracterizing the 2nd LOTD's.
The universe is an isolated system and the earth is a closed system neither are open systems which is what daws was claiming.
Who cares. I was mistaken too, but not conceptually. As I said, a closed system isn't really a closed system, as one might think upon hearing the word "closed." Energy is allowed in and out. It is only closed with respect to matter.
The point is, you are wrong in your expectation that Earth should expect increased entropy. It is not an isolated system. You have misquoted the 2nd LOTD's.
The more you continue on this path of nitpicking, you more you reveal that you were wrong as well.
What ever makes your boat float.
