The more I read about these issues the more it seems the only path forward is a market pricing mechanic. We'll never convince people with emotion or logic, but we can convince them with their wallet. Right now we don't realize the costs of the negative externalities of our choices. We need not just a carbon market though, but an environmental market. How much is a flock of wild geese worth? What's their habitat worth? How much should someone pay to destroy a wetlands to build new housing? I guess one downside to this is then people can just actually pay to destroy these things and so we might wind up with just ultra expensive and rare "natural environments".
