Are we going to eliminate ourselves in our technological hunt? Has technology made your life better? Any plans to fix this other than a second "Final Solution"?

Been too long since I took a chem class. If you can follow what the PhD dude is saying, could you explain it to me?

I wasn't referring to you---In your case I would ask what are you dropping. I might or might not want some of it.

Creme de carrotzhuice cupkakes, frosted with pixelated cornflakes.

I'll pick them right up again though. What kind of a Mother's Day would it be with cupcakes all over the floor. People have to eat, you know!

BanditFlyer,

Because order/organization = a decrease in entropy. Combustion = increase of entropy. The natural world stores energy and negative entropy. Humans come along and use this natural energy to create heat which increases entropy. The sun is constantly providing us with negative entropy, and we are an open system, as the diagrams do a good job illustrating.

The diagrams do a crap job of illustrating. You say that combustion is an increase in entropy. How much combustion do you think has gone on in the last century? I'd say the amount of combustion is increasing, therefore, entropy is increasing.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

As the Earth is bound to char to a cinder in one mighty combustible event.....that of the Sun expanding in it's 'death throws'........man's input seems rather insignificant at this time.
How's that for an increase of entropy

Fix what?
And why is genocide an option?
