432 Entropy, when people think of entropy they think of something hot that ends up cold, too simplistic yes!

    Does entropy come into question in an open system such as life on Earth since as long as the sun shines, energy is being sent to earth constantly? The answer to that question is really what the "plan" is all about, how quickly sunlight is either reflexed back into space after hitting ice or snow or cloud cover, changed into heat as it comes into contact with greenhouse gasses, converted into energy for growth when it hit plant life, or directly converted into heat as it hits unprotected soils! All of these seemingly random actions, mankind can do a lot to make these actions not random at all. And in the process, repair the planet, not just for mankind and the extreme weather that has become the norm, but for all carbon-based life.

    Then we start to talk about mineral entropy caused by the sequestration of life, just as energy entropy ends up with energy so diluted that it becomes unable to be used, mineral entropy takes necessary nutrients for life and displaces and dilutes these minerals to the point that there are large areas of both on land and in the oceans that we call deserts of life. Calling parts of the ocean's "deserts", seem so far from land deserts that an explanation is needed. There are areas normally far from land where little wind is available to bring needed micro-nutrients such as iron into these waters, iron in small amounts is an essential nutrient that without, many types of ocean life simply can not exist and does not exist in amounts high enough to encourage other sea life to come into these areas to feed. Just as there is life in almost every area of the planet, the abundance of that life depends on the food source that is available. while on land, rainfall is one of the driving forces of whether or not plant life can survive enough to encourage other types of life to also use these areas, in the oceans, it is the availability of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients that deem whether or not life can be in abundances. This is why life is so abundant in some of the most treacherous and dangerous parts of the oceans, because the winds, waves, and fast-moving ocean currents bring the most abundance of nutrients for life to feed off of, compared to almost anywhere else on the planet! 

    As our planet has aged since life first appeared far back in time, So many changes have occurred that no one looking at our planet 3 billion years ago would even guess that, "that planet" and the planet we live on now were even slightly related. Nothing other than the proximity to our star would give any hint that they were the same planet! All-caused by life and plate-tectonics, life being the greatest changer of all. While plate tectonics may cause the surface of the planet to completely be realigned over a 200,000,000-year time frame, life has caused mass extinctions, and without a thinking and acting species (mankind), the ultimate extinction of all (or very nearly all) carbon-based life on a frozen-over planet spinning forever in a cold and empty solar system, devoid of any life not buried deep inside using the internal heat of a died or dying world.

    If mankind can not find a way forward in preventing our own extinction, then this outcome that I have just outlined is not in the distant future but simply a few hundred years after our demise. That is how fast the carbon dioxide levels will drop at a rate of 2 parts per million per year reaching 180 parts per million in a little over 100 years when the planet will enter into the next-last-and never-ending ice age! As the levels of carbon dioxide drop below 150 parts per million C-3 plant life will die, this will take more than another 30 years because as each area of the planet begins losing its C-3 plant life, the decomposition of that life and the carbon stored both in the plants and the surrounding soils will become available for the remaining plant life to continue. Until there is simply not enough carbon dioxide for any plant life other than C-4 and CAM plant life and the whole planet will either be a desert or under the ice, as this happens the ice will begin descending towards the equator, until the great ice sheets touch and the planet freezes over. At this point with a thinking and acting species no longer on the planet, only a supervolcanic event could bring enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to perhaps allow carbon-based life another short attempt to continue, but as the internal heat of the planet is slowly decreasing as the radioactive elements are being broken down into less and less heat-producing sister elements to the point that only mass and its gravity is left to keep the core of the planet warm, plate tectonics and volcanic action will both decrease to the point that any supervolcanic action becomes less and less likely. Possibly yes, as the ice sheets change the weight distribution of the planet these changes could result in volcanic events that would not have occurred otherwise, along with tidal pulls from the moon which could increase the chances of a major volcanic event happening.

    All lovely things and possibilities to think about, but let us hope that Superman's parents were unable to convince the ruling powers of Krypton from taking action in either saving their own planet or transferring their population to another planet, (go Elon) if theirs could not be saved. Let us hope that the inertia of change that is to be expected from our own ruling class, will see the economical aspects of the "plan" as a win-win going forward, allowing us both, to save the planet, ourselves, all carbon-based life, while increasing the economical aspect of a large percentage of mankind, decreasing droughts and hunger, and the list goes on and on!

    Well, either I have just wasted another period of time, trying to both inform, entertain, and convince, others to start acting on the information about what we and the planet is facing and how to prevent that in a very profitable way! OR maybe? Contact me (like that will happen) in the USA at 402-890-7946, or by G-mail @   daniel.kadavy212@gmail.com   or go to   https://lifecycleofaplanet.blogspot.com    to read much, much more. As always, Thank you, for at least reading Dan. 

    This reminds me, a professor at some school put an amount of money in a locker with the combination and direction to that locker and money to whoever could find where he hid the information! By the end of the semester, no one had found it because he hid it in the course description of his class. Not that's funny! Sad but funny!
