I'd love to hear a right leaning libertarian's perspective on why climate change doesn't change the narrative that economic progress is the only worthy goal of our social structures. Also, why are technology and corporate control above the critical evaluation that government is exposed to. I'm always a little confused why libertarians usually have a stance that isn't consistently applied to coercive private forces as well as government control. Surely it's not a consistent philosophy if it has such strong uncritical biases.
