Thanks for sending such good questions to the project leader. It makes vivid how complicated and convoluted the market is. Are you going to write a reflection on his responses? I would like to read your thoughts on his arguments.
Thank you, Chris for more "negative media"! Here’s a little thought, and you heard it here first: “The economy is an externality to the environment.” This creates an incongruence when one tries to apply economic measures to the environment - it is like you hit “C” on the piano and some other note sounds. There is always some misfit and the intended outcomes can never play out according to plan. And there is no “profit” outcome in Nature, while economic measures always fail unless the perpetrator can collect a profit.
