Conservative/Libertarian economics and anthropic global warming

"Because it is unfeasible for individuals to seek compensation for the cost imposed upon the government have a responsibility to enforce the rights of others in penalizing or dismantling institutions that thwart such rights."

So either the government puts limits on the production of greenhouse gasses or places taxes on said production that would be used to compensate victims?

Quote:Great, now go tell them to sell their nuclear grade reserves to power plants or promise them to entrepreneurs who build plants, you would have lots of relatively cheap and efficient fuel... But the chances of your government actually doing that are pretty slim.

Actually that’s what a group of US climatologists have been advocating for years. Unfortunately their contributions to political PAC funds pale in comparison to big energy.
