Yes this is the normal answer:
"Degradation of energy to lower temperatures and the associated production of entropy is a general direction for Earth system processes, ranging from the planetary energy balance, to the global hydrological cycle and the cycling of carbon by Earth’s biosphere."

However, there is a bigger picture that we are currently trying to understand in regards to the dynamics of energy states in the Universe.
Hi GD, In support of your argument regarding the thermodynamics of earth cooling over the last five billion years to enable life to exist is correct. We are still very limited in our understandings on how the Universe works. It is impossible for Antimatter to exist if we only live in a Uni-Time directed Universe. Either mirrors exist or they do not. So I disagree with you on several points, the Universe is both positive and negative and is balanced between a Matter and Antimatter Universe. The Universe is in perpetual motion and as far as our current understandings take us it appears that if anything more energy is now entering our solar system not less, which means that currently the curve is towards negative entropy. Time is just another variable and the entire question of relativity as far as I'm concerned is way up in the air. So, I would entirely disagree that all atoms in this dual Matter and Antimatter Universe have only one direction in Time, that is a mathematical improbability. Also, again dimensional stresses may exist as both mirror matter antimatter waveforms with in atomic nuclei. Otherwise, how do such incredible atomic blasts create such enormous releases of energy. So, you see it is all very mute question pertaining to entropy levels when we are so really unable to calculate exactly just what those levels would be anyway. Because, even our core heating is the result of extradimensional gravitational energies bombarding the earth's center. No gravity, no heat, no mass, nothing exists but plasma. What is good is that we are challenging ourselves to think about these questions. North, yes I agree with you that Plasmas are amazing and I would sure like to spend more time doing further research on Plasma states which exist everywhere.
Back to Energy: Hydrogen Plasma states may release 1000 times the equivalent energy as compared to Carbon based fuels. Again, what processes are we really observing here? I think this release is extradimensional and FTL otherwise how do you attain such amazing negative entropy? Where does this energy come from, and this is the big question could the Sun be a White Hole?
