Overview

Libertarianism, through its philosophy of limited government, provide a unique lens when viewing environmental issues.

Ernest Partridge, a "researcher, lecturer, consultant in Applied Ethics and Environmental Ethics" and the co-editor of The Crisis Papers Web site, has argued that "libertarian doctrine" has failed "to deal appropriately with environmental problems."[1]
