Is climate change bad news and should New Zealand bother to fight?

No 371303, Competition & Regulation Times from New Zealand Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation

Abstract: n 1798, Thomas Robert Malthus forecast global disaster as a result of population growth outstripping arable land; but he overlooked the redemptive impact of technical progress. Today's modern Malthusians predict similar catastrophes from climate change - and the government seems to agree, having recently proposed an emissions-trading scheme as the cornerstone in New Zealand's fight against it. All this has prompted Richard Meade to ponder the wider implications of climate change for New Zealand.
