This one is the one I like the best. There's also a lecture of Rothbard's online dealing with conservation and having the market find the optimal level of pollution, though the name escapes me. In that lecture he also cites a few articles and books I believe concerning fisheries and public ownership and leasing of forests leading to deforestation.

I have a video? (5 parts) Too long in their entirety for you, but Block hits on most of the points... and you could use one part / section of it.

(Please visit the site to view this media)

Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4, Part 5.

There may be something in "The Natural Sciences and the Environment" section... although I think this is probably what you are after:

The Ethics of Freedom and Climate Change -

Bump, because the L'oreal advert says I'm worth it.

Does anyone know a relatively short, good article form a libertarian POV on this? Doesn't need to be ancap or even hardcore libertarian, just something I can use for a brief ethics presentation.
