The thing is that free markets have a fix for CO2 emissions - my (person A’s) climate and my property being affected by person B’s CO2 emissions is not a consensually entered contract, I didn’t agree to this. So allowing people to release CO2 emissions doesn’t follow the two rules of private property + free markets.
But people who gain from CO2 emissions being allowed just have way to much power

i had never thought of it that way.
also the irony that farmers dont give a fuck about the environment always gets me.
Yes, fossil fuels are only cheaper because they aren’t paying the full burden of the externalities.
