It’s sad how many people here cannot see the world through any other lens but money made on the market.

The fundamental issue with our environmental crisis is externalities. Chopping down every tree and strip-mining the planet is not a good idea just because it’s profitable in market terms. Growing food 100 years from now is important. An ecology that supports human life 100 years from now is important. More important than whether you can get rich from depleting natural resources.
