I scanned the charming argument in the libertarian community- I found myself primarily being amused by the fact that it sounded like an argument from the "Your Say" section of The Age :)
I was lucky enough to see Ian Lowe speak at the National Press Club last year (ah, the joys of connections to Parliament that earn you a $60 lunch w. talk). I think whatever your political stance, or environmental stance, he's one of the best speakers and thinkers that the Left have on environmental issues. Not that there are not plenty of others, but certainly from his reception at the Press Club he seems to go down as less of a bitter pill to swallow, for those who might not normally agree with his standpoint.
