        @sapinker is that the deal? If you agree with someone's political agenda you endorse fallacious and demagogic rhetoric?

        @sapinker many environmental organizations, economists, and commentators have come out against carbon credits as being insufficient. 1/2

        @sapinker if you want to turn this position into an intellectual attack upon a Church's theology, fine, but it is bigoted and absurd. 2/2

        @sapinker nothing wrong with pollution markets in theory, but I think they tend toward a combination of green-washing and rent-seeking

        @sapinker things like efficiency standards, while very invasive in a theoretical sense, achieve much more ROI in practice

        @sapinker isn't any kind of social change based on a 'should' - don't have to be Catholic to find the corollary argument problematic...
