In general, a lot of people using stacker news don't regard human caused climate change as a real threat. This doesn't mean you shouldn't write about it and post about it here -- just that doing so might require some pretty thick skin. Look at it this way: it's a chance to sharpen your arguments up.
Just as many bitcoiners never leave their own bubble, many in the environmental movement don't leave theirs. Any opportunity we have to grate against each other is good, even if it creates a slightly unpleasant sound.

The atmosphere is such a thing. Another example might be geosynchronous orbit. FM radio frequencies are another. What is a good way to get markets working in such circumstances?

checked and regulated capitalism ~ central banking (that's in strong relation)
We want unchecked and unregulated capitalism, because the checks and regulations are evil and bring the world into the real ill condition.

Even if they believed it, it makes no sense at all to create a credit system for something as meaningless as gas emissions. It’s better to spend money on gambling than on ‘carbon credits’.
