Making government agencies try to force people into fighting global warming is authoritarian, and therefore immoral. Plus, it is probably counter-productive. Paradoxically, greater economic freedom generally decreases the CO2 emissions the society creates.

I scanned the paper that you linked to. I didn't give it a close read, because that wasn't necessary. The paper is pretty loaded with junk. For example, while it is true that a country that can trade freely can reduce its emissions, its not true that this lowers global emissions-- US emissions can be reduced while China's increase. This has nothing to do with the US being more economically free than China.
The paper seemed to be written to present the appearance of legitimate research, but is really free market libertarian propaganda.
