Thermo Economics in a Finite World

John Bryant

Working Papers from Economic Consultancy, Vocat International

Abstract: An analysis of possible restrictions on economic development posed by climate change and resource factors. The paper examines international trends over several decades of GDP, capital stock, population and energy demand and intensity, and the extent to which these trends may need to change to meet restrictions on CO2 emissions arising from consumption of fossil fuels.
