Abstract

A simplified climate model based on maximum entropy production, described by a variational principle, is revisited and an analytical solution to its Euler–Lagrange equation is found. Mindful of controversy about maximum or minimum entropy production in open thermodynamical systems, we show that the solution extremizing the action integral corresponds to a maximum.
