That's the solution to global warming and depleted fisheries: parcel out private ownership.

Famous essay by Garrett Hardin: Tragedy of the Commons.

[Old Professer]

Have you read the entirety of your link?

The author is proposing spay and neuter programs for humans some 39 years ago when AGW was in its crib.

It's an anti-family screed.

Philosophically his reasoning is faultless.

Malthusian mutterings are the hallmark of the ignored elite.

Here's a comment on your link:
"Another expression of scarcity was the ‘tragedy of the commons’ that was popularised by Garrett Hardin, a prominent biologist (11). Hardin acknowledged his intellectual debt to William Forster Lloyd (1794-1852), an obscure British economist who originated the idea in a pamphlet in 1833. Lloyd began with the idea of a common pasture on which villagers could graze their cattle. At first there was no problem, since the land area was ample to support a relatively small number of cattle. But as the number of cattle grew larger it became impossible for the land to support them all. Hardin used this metaphor to illustrate the broader need for limits on economic growth, and this idea has become widely accepted by environmentalists."

This sort of thinking leads to loss of freedom and control.
