PAPER SUMMARY
Global greenhouse gas emissions will continue to rise. Climate change adaptation by private firms and households will help to offset many of the emerging challenges we are likely to face going forward. Market forces play a central role in signaling scarcity and pointing entrepreneurs to emerging opportunities. Government regulations often introduce frictions that inhibit adaptation. While Milton Friedman does not discuss climate change in his books Capitalism and Freedom or in Free to Choose, his ideas are directly relevant for creating “rules of the game” that would accelerate the pace of adaptation.
