Oh, you think the current order is the result of economic freedom? You don't realise that's it's a result of economic tyranny where polluters and pillagers of national wealth are protected and coddled.
We could employer individuals to claim compensation for 2 million deaths caused by air pollusion globally. We could enable farmer who's lifehood has been destroyed by climate change to claim compensation from Oil companeis and other emitters.
If your plot of land decreased in value because it no longer has access to clean water, if your house has been destroyed by a flood, if you had a heart attack from abnormally hot weather of if you used to be a toure guide to the barrier reef -> join a mile long queue for compensation from Exconn mobil and others. After all, that's the cost of doing business, right?
We could also disempower the central authority from using violence to protect private jets, pipelines, coal mines, and other climate destroying assets, and see how long they last.

I've been hearing this argument and waiting for 30 years. Even better if you sit around waiting around for 'free market' to provide you with a magical solution. Should we wait for another 30 and see where it leads it? I mean it's easier that actually looking at yourself critically, right?
