I guess he doesn't think the international ban on commercial whaling that led to the recovery of the humpback whale counts as disturbing free markets. How odd he makes no mention of the 50+ year IWC ban, or perhaps not. Written by Matt Ridley, who sits out by Rees Mogg at the extreme end of political spectrum. He was famously Chairman of Northern Rock during which time, in 2007, it became the only British bank in a century and a half to have a run on the bank. It had to be nationalised out from under him. He was extensively criticised in the parliamentary investigation into the bank's failure. Yet he keeps on arguing for almost no regulation (on anything). Also owns the land on which one of the few remaining UK coal mines sits. He still claims climate change will not be damaging, we should carry on using fossil fuels and not seek to decarbonise. I am sure these are entirely unconnected beliefs.
