The constant production of entropy and the increasing unavailability of energy to perform work which thermodynamics depicts suggest, Bergson speculates, that the physical world may have possessed characteristics in the past that it does not now have, and that characteristics it now has may be lost in the future.

This was originally developed by physicists to quantify lost energy in mechanical systems, such as a steam engine, but entropy can also be used to measure the range or randomness of a system.

I am not a thermodynamics expert, but as I understand it the energy lost to entropy will not show up as temperature somewhere else.

So I don't think you can say that high - entropy energy is lost to the climate system forever if it has somewhere else it can still leak to.
