The problem with the current models is that they are not advanced enough to simulate the complex ocean/atmospheric dynamics and there is still a lot that we just don't know.
Coming from an engineering background I personally have serious reservations about our ability to model the earth and atmospheric system. With that being said, I think the most important question is how we address the problem of a finite fossil fuel reserve and pollution. Market solutions or government solutions?

I want to say James Buchanan but he passed away last year. Now it would have to be either Russ Roberts from econtalk or David Friedman.

re: Is there anyone here who supports fiat curreny/the Federal Reserve?

I think that a lot of the economic problems we are facing are directly related to fiat currency and the federal resevere but I am wondering if anyone here thinks that fiat currency is a good thing
Nothing is wrong with a fiat currency it actually economizes the use of a commodity, you can gain interest from banks issuing the currency etc. The problem comes into play when you when have a monopoly issuing the currency as opposed to competing firms.

The wealthy already control our society. They use the arm of the state to create laws and regulations that are beneficial to them and keep their competition out of the market i.e. rent seeking.

Recommend text for an econ class, which led me to the Machinery of Freedom. I picked up a couple books by Rothbard and Hoppe along the way but never got on the Austrian bandwagon.

I am sick of hearing this arguement. How about you back this up with proof on the damage it would cause?
These immigrants grease the economy – they expand the productivity of the labor market, increase the US’s comparative advantage in the market, lower prices, while at the same time increasing demand. To remove them would have far reaching consequences.

Restrict trade and cries of protectionism resound. Suggest linking labor standards to trade and it's protectionism in disguise. Limit capital flows and the International Monetary Fund is on your back. But restrict people flows? That's just an accepted exercise of national sovereignty! During the last few decades, when most countries reduced barriers to trade in goods and services and liberalized financial capital markets, most also sought to limit immigration. - Richard Freeman

Daniel Griswold Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement Committee
quote:
Consider the agricultural sector, in which an estimated 800,000 to 1 million undocumented immigrants work each year to harvest American crops. Does anybody seriously believe that if we could deport every one of those workers tomorrow, that a sufficient number of American workers would line up to take their place? It’s safe to say most of those jobs would go unfilled. If wages were hiked significantly, many of those jobs would simply disappear, most likely to be replaced by imported farm goods grown and harvested in other countries. Without immigrant workers, the most likely scenario is that we would simply produce less agricultural output as a nation. This would mean not only a direct loss of manual, on-the-farm jobs but a ripple effect of job losses in upstream and downstream sectors such as management, processing, packaging, distribution, and marketing. According to estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are 3.1 related jobs off the farm for every job on the farm. Eliminating the on-farm jobs would put at risk many more jobs paying middle-class wages and employing native-born American workers.

I just cannot think of an effective business model for a private fire department.
It’s impossible to predict these things, but I would assume the homeowner would pay a set amount per year to a private fire fighting company and if the need ever arose they would come out to extinguish the fire.
Honestly, if you’re truly interested in how a society could function without the state and not just trolling check out David Friedman’s book – The Machinery of Freedom.
