A hyperglobalist and free-market advocate would likely argue that the largest threat to the environment is high mass consumption. They would contend that excessive consumption driven by economic growth and consumer behavior places significant strain on environmental resources. While they might acknowledge other factors such as population growth and the tragedy of the commons, they would emphasize that the market's focus on consumption and the demand for goods lead to environmental degradation. They may also argue that technological advances can provide solutions to mitigate environmental issues if properly leveraged within a free-market framework.
