The various proposals all amount to one thing. Somebody trying to justify making a buck off of someone else.

Too many people. Let's have a war!
Seriously, I don't care if you can prove or disprove humanities impact on global conditions. In a free market, I would choose the one with the lesser environmental impact. Sure it costs more, but we all pay anyway cleaning up the mess later. Tainted water, loss of health, increased governmental fiscal burdens cleaning superfund sites, etc. Yeah, much too simpleminded, I'll just go eat my mercury laced fish and heavy metal water, then play with my five legged cat.
