Benevolent authoritarianism
There are various approaches to deal with ecological illness, and we can all place them on a spectrum between libertarianism (no government intervention, free and atomic individuals can decide what is best for their own interests) vs. benevolent authoritarianism (government should intervene and take necessary steps to save the environment).
Where do you stand on this spectrum, and please use empirical evidence (surveys, statistics, interviews, policies, etc.) to support your position by giving specific references to the course material and additional materials that you can find, such as the Green New Deal.
