 * Delete Assertions of the Earth being a closed thermodynamic system (patently wrong as sunlight adds energy to the Earth environment) and waste heat being the cause of global warming (dubious because a nearly constant 89 petawatts of incoming solar radiation dwarfs anything man can produce) are controversial. More importantly, there are no sources quoted in the article to back up these assertions, nor have I seen such sources in the mainstream scientific press. Hence this looks like original research and a bit of synthesis. Removing the OR and synth from the article would leave nothing left, hence delete. --Mark viking (talk) 16:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. An incurable rubbish stacked on the false idea that “the entropy of the environment constantly increasing”, while in reality every planet in an open system and invariably releases the entropy to the outer space via thermal radiation. P.S. just typed this text, but was distracted so Gene93k came ahead. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete: Unsourced and unsourcable OR and synth. Actually, it sheer drivel and blither, with zero encyclopedic value. Can be deleted in its entirety, as there is nothing worth saving or merging elsewhere. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 16:17, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing salvageable.  Garamond Lethe t c  20:24, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems to be a sincere effort on the part of a legitimate subject matter expert, but a clear violation of WP:OR. MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:10, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
