Even Rand agreed that collective legislation is appropriate to collective problems. But my point was that, for environmentalists, harm to 'the environment' actually outweighs measurable harm to humans. Hence activities that provably killed a bunch of people are likely to merit a less stringent penalty that those likely in this case.
