Markets don't just magically work better.

Have a look at the harm that fossil fuels can do simply because the costs of these damages were not priced into the cost of fossil fuels.

Unexpected costs of fossil fuels that cause climate change is a historical failure of regulation (politics) and not markets.

Markets are not magic. They're just a tool.

In this case I do not understand what you are arguing for (or against).

"Markets" themselves are the easy part. Regulating them properly is the really difficult part.
