A task
Presume the climate system of the earth is a heat engine and draw a simple image of how the heat engine distributes the energy between the components of the engine including internal variation, some effects of it and human influence on it using at maximum 1200*854 pixels:

There maybe others present, I wasn't actually counting when I was making this
And now I wasn't proofreading the 2nd Hadley is of course Ferrell.
