The water then seeps through the grounds, and the process is repeated
until terminated by removing from the heat, by an internal timer, or by a thermostat that turns off the heater when the entire pot reaches an
ideal temperature.
The gas at the top of the tube would be warmed (thus increasing its pressure slightly (
ideal gas laws
temperature change constant volume tube) and like a piston this pressure increase would propagate down the tube at the local speed of sound in the gas causing adiabatic heating of the gas in each subsequent layer
until it reached the bottom of the tube, instantly replacing the heat lost to the silver wire.
We don't have to worry about the enforcement angle
until the world's politicians have agreed upon the official procedure for measuring the
temperature of the earth, the optimum
temperature of the earth, the precise percentage of CO2 that would establish and maintain that
ideal temperature, the number, location, and specifications for the CO2 monitoring stations, who would be in charge of the world CO2 monitoring system, who would pay for it, the thousands of pages of regulations and taxes that would require enforcement, who would pay for the regulatory bodies, who would collect the CO2 taxes, how the taxes would be distributed etc..
