I agree that your "Scenario 2" is a good case against using torts to correct large, widespread pollution problems, but there are other ways of dealing with those issues in a manner consistent with libertarianism.[1][2] My original point was not that Pigouvianism was ineffective, but that: "Pigouvianism is inherently intolerant and totalitarian, not libertarian, as it relies on imposing one's value judgements on others. Using a tax to force compliance rather than more draconian restrictions may be 'nicer', but is not Liberty."
