Popis:	Dissipative effects in electromagnetism on macroscopic scales are examined by coarse graining the microscopic Maxwell equations with respect to time. We illustrate a procedure to derive the dissipative effects on the macroscopic scale by using a Green-Kubo type expression in terms of the microscopic fluctuations and the correlations between them. The resulting macroscopic Maxwell equations are formulated within the General Equation for the Non-Equilibrium Reversible-Irreversible Coupling (GENERIC) framework, accounting also for inhomogeneous temperature.
