I posted this earlier today in the tech lemmy instance, but, they have no sense of humor and deleted it. I’m trying here.

    (If you’ll forgive me going on a tangent…)

    Pollution is why I mentioned p2p prediction markets! It’s an externalities problem, and any market-based solution to externalities requires the Coase Theorem - which in turn requires extremely low transaction costs.

    Basically I think we should all buy climate insurance, and those insurers will have a strong incentive to pay for defense from polluters. But that sort of market will step on a few toes and needs to resist censorship. And it needs to be very very low friction.
