We know we must now work to both cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the severity of climate change and at the same time work to adapt to the impacts we can no longer avoid. I show how Malthusians have used climate change to shift from claiming fossil fuels were scarce to claiming that the environment was scarce.

There has been much talk in recent weeks about pricing carbon to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The most direct of these is imposed on certain fossil fuel power plants by requiring them to purchase carbon dioxide emissions allowances as part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. That seems unlikely, however.
