One example argument I find interesting is that people actually have equal rights to our environment and our commons. So if we are to have such institutions as private property and similar rights to exclusivity, those excluded should be justly compensated for being excluded. Edit: To clarify. Take John Locke, he argues that when you mix your labor with nature you should have right to the result of that labor, but that you can only take from nature what is not needed by anyone else. One could also extend from that argument that one should not have the right to destroy that which is needed either (think pollution). So be it land value taxes or carbon taxes, you can argue that some compensations is just.
