There is pretty much a worldwide ban on CFC gasses, which is about as strict and universal government regulation as you can get. What do most libertarians feel about this? Should we rely on people who are getting skin cancer suing CFC manufactures all over the world, and hope that they will self-regulate?
I would assume that major CFC manufacturers would be able to get pretty good lawyers, and it would certainly be an expensive way to go about it. Besides, by the time everyone stopped making CFC in fear of being sued, loads of people would probably have died from skin cancer already.
Are there some examples like this when government regulation is simply the best/most effective way of solving a problem?
