I think the second one works. It's unfalsifiable because it makes no predictions. If any heat-related thing can be explained by 'convection', then convection isn't saying anything.
Even nastier is Feynman's one about the baby-physics book which said 'What makes it move?' and the answer was always 'Energy makes it move'.
