title = "Possible future scenarios for CO2 atmospheric concentration: A thermodynamic approach",
abstract = "The atmospheric concentration of CO2 has systematically augmented since the Industrial Revolution, with a remarkable raising after the 1970's. In this work we assume that this increasing tendency due to men's activity stems from a mode of energy production and conversion mainly based on a maximum power output paradigm. If this production mode is changed to a less entropic one, such as the so-called ecological function regime, the future scenario of CO2 concentration drastically diminishes the slope of the increasing tendency. Our results arise from simplified endoreversible power plant models.",
