Market fundamentalists don't necessarily understand their object of worship/fetishization better than those with a more nuanced approach. Almost everyone who's thought about it realizes that markets are a good way to establish relative demand and set prices, yet some seem to deny the similarly-obvious fact that extra-market forces are needed to internalize market externalities to let markets do their job -- and that some ends are worth being achieved, even if markets alone will not naturally create them under any circumstances.
As to anthropogenic climate change, do you have any links to published, peer-reviewed work demonstrating that global warming isn't happening, or am I just supposed to rely on some educated-sounding d00d-on-the-internet? Do you disagree that worldwide changes in atmospheric gases are occurring and may have unpredictable results, and that the path of caution would be to reduce those changes until the possible danger is better understood?
