Your favorite envirofascist has been shaken, not stirred, and remains Tweeting from Tokyo, despite the earthquakes (hundreds of them!) and fallout
I tweet here: http://twitter.com/Tokyo_Tom
Since The Earthquake, I’ve managed to irk a liberal or two; see this “FEATURED” tweet at HuffPo:

.@Tokyo_Tom Please take your pretentious Mises rhetoric and shove it up your ass. You people have ruined America. Fuck you.

Thanks so much for your visit to LvMI – just to give me a comment?? – and your cross-link to your interesting post at Skeptical Science.
I've taken a quick look; my chief comment would be that you and the 'libertarians' you discuss have all missed that the status quo favors massive corporations whose very status is suspect from a libertarian standpoint: they are creatures of government that could not exist without govt in their present form, and that embody moral hazard via the govt grant of limited liability to shareholders.
Cato and other vocal 'libertarian' organizations are in fact corporate fronts and won't bite the hand that feeds them, and thus avoid delving too deeply when they defend a 'free market' that is predominated by organizations that are not controlled by shareholders or communities and that are dedicated to extracting gains irregardless of costs that others may be forced to bear.
I also think a significant problem is groupthink – all around – as I've discussed w John Quiggin.
Here are a few places you can look to get a better handle on my thinking

Hey Tom, If you get a chance, please check out this blog post I wrote about Jonathan Adler’s paper on climate change.
