>No it doesn’t,
OoooOOOhhh yes it does! He's behind you!
>same thing has happened in separate countries regardless of whether it’s a free market
Huh? So you're saying a free market is not the common factor in the presence of extensive environmental damage?
But what is a common factor? What's universally present? Oh, that's it, GOVERNMENTS!

>those rank higher than the USA in terms of economic freedom
Ignoring the "we have investigated ourselves and found us innocent", they all have highly regulated economies. Earlier you mentioned cotton farming in Australia, having briefly looked, I found plenty of rules and regulations that farmers are ordered to follow on their own land. That's not remotely free.
>If they aren’t free markets then what is?
Like free speech is the ability to say anything, free markets are utterly devoid of government interference.
>You do that a lot, and it’s pretty telling
I've evidence the opposite, I've explained why you're wrong for the bulk of what you've thrown at me, and have explained so in multiple different ways.

>You addressed nothing, you made up a hypothetical that is not based in reality
I've used logic. You've done very little of this.
>without considering any case-specific factors
I think I've been rather specific, going through things in extreme detail would be enormously time consuming and likely futile: The moment I've thoroughly explained piecemeal why every element of a societal problem is the result of government interference, you'll retort "Uhuh, well that's probably just a fluke, now do the same for THIS problem.".

>Done that already. See pine plantation.
You didn't explain why removing a rain forest is inherently evil when back in >>16292038, instead you explained why my example (>>16292010) of the destruction and replacing of a rain forest with a pine plantation would result in further degradation of the land. The most relevant thing to morality you made in that post was name calling.
