When you turn on the fan, the copper pipe will begin reducing entropy at the precise point that it is connected to, but the entire mechanism of the system will warm up the room more than what it was before turning it on. Life is both an entropy-reduction mechanism and an entropy-increasing one depending on which relative frame you approach it from. Locally in that specific point the entropy did get reduced and otherwise would not have been, but globally it rose because the heat went to another point but the work needed to move it there generated extra entropy. A better explanation would be "entropy reallocation". Life reallocates entropy from whatever it has decided to craft into a lower-entropy object, and puts it out as waste and feces to a net increase of entropy for the environment. We are literally built with the sole purpose of warming up the planets we inhabit and shitting them up just so our localized system that we call "humanity" can be of a lower entropy for as long as we're supposed to last. This is why whining about climate change is pointless and retarded, because you're essentially opposing the orders of the Universe. We have evolved to do precisely that and our organisms grew in magnitudes of order throughout the billions of years just to do it more easily. You should not look for ways to solve climate change but to solve the fact that we're locked here and can't run away from the pile of shit that we've created. This is what we've always done and will continue to do even if AI takes our throne, which will eventually end up doing the exact same thing but in a way more radical way.
