Thank you for your answer!
But do you believe the free market can be effective at solving problems such as externalities if the proper incentives are put in place? If so, why do you believe people who are stupid and short-sighted can properly follow those incentives?
Nope! humanity is doomed to suffer from it's own stupidity, regardless of whether that suffering is traded for or imposed.
