Abstract
Based on the Publications of the IPCC Working Groups I to III the question of the influence of the entropy increase since the industrialization around 1750 on the current climate development is answered both in general terms as well as through a first quantitative approach. It is shown that the entropy production must be considered in connection with the climate development. Furthermore the human and the livestock production of CO2 is not mentioned in the IPCC Report at all. Calculations show however, that this Greenhouse CO2-Production must be considered. For solving the mitigation processes we therefore have to think about our human and livestock greenhouse gas production, but we also must include in our thinking the entropy production. An entropy tax as well as the introduction of an Entropy Identity are certainly points to start with. Our climate problem is the most urgent fundamental problem mankind has ever had.
