Abstract: | The IPCC Working Groups I–III 2007 publications does not consider the question of the influence of the entropy increase in
the atmosphere on current climate development. An investigation into this question, both in general terms as well as by two
quantitative approaches, reveals we must consider the entropy produced by man in connection with climate development, especially
with regard to the temperature increase of the atmosphere. The IPCC report also fails to mention the production of CO2 by humans and livestock, but calculations show we must also consider such greenhouse gas CO2 production. For solving the mitigating processes, we therefore have to take into account both the human induced entropy production
and the direct human and livestock CO2 output. In consideration of these findings, it seems necessary to introduce an “entropy identity” to people who wish to be
able to continue to live on the planet. The introduction of an entropy tax might also help in solving the most urgent fundamental
problem humanity has ever had to face.
