Well, I can throw Nick (and George) a life ring. Meteorology is very concerned with how changes in temperature happen, whether an increase is induced through adding heat or by adding pressure is very important. But it's not thermodynamics. What does a thermodynamic system want, George? It wants to be isolated and at equilibrium. What happens when it can't get what it wants? Things that thermodynamics isn't about.
I mean, haven't we gone over this multiple times before? Verbally logicking your way through natural science is a way to enumerate how natural science does not correspond to verbal logic. I remember the video in which Harvard students were ambushed at commencement with questions about how the moon phases or the seasons of the year were astronomically based. Brilliant wrong answers, many more wrong answers than correct, but all brilliant and mostly delivered with great confidence even though they were obviously wild guesses. Ask George what Le Monde thinks causes the weather? -- rec --
