Atomism, Organicism, The Environment

Underlying one of the prominent debates in contemporary American politics--whether or not there exists such a thing as human-produced Climate Change--is a more fundamental question--whether or not there exists such a thing as the Environment.  According to an Organicist doctrine such as Darwinism, there is: it is the habitat of a species, and, hence, is common to each of its members.  However, it follows from the premises of Atomism that there is not.  For, according to Atomist Epistemology, i. e. Berkeleyan Phenomenalism, Space is only a private datum, which means that 'the Environment', as connoting a Space common to all subjects, is merely a nominal expression.  Thus, because Smith's system is Phenomenalist Economics, the various arguments of Capitalists against Climate Change--that it does not exist, that it is not caused by manufacturing processes from which they profit, that the Government has no right to interfere in their market activities, etc., tacitly accept the Organicist thesis that there does exist an Environment that is common to all members of the species.
