I’m curious, the Sun is raining down energy on our planet 24/7. Is there a limit to how much of the Sun’s energy the Earth can retain?
For instance there was once one tree. That tree absorbed x amount of energy, then that tree spawned 3-4 others, now all 5 are absorbing energy, then a full forest.. and so on and so on. So it would seem the soil itself is then absorbing more energy, eternally.
The same thing can be said of the oceans, of humans themselves as the population grows.
Constantly more energy. So is there a limit? Or does the energy density of Earth increase every day, every hour, every minute?
