I think the skepticism towards raising taxes precedes the choice of how to spend the money.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1097450981590265858 …
If there was a plan to fix climate change that would clearly work (i.e. somehow fix it in China as well) and would cost x dollars, and there was no better alternative, you'd have to support it. So in my case at least you guessed wrong.
Good! But I think you just described an impossible set of conditions. Given the real universe of plans out there - murky, unknowable, localized, many alternatives - you're less supportive, right? My claim was: if costs of climate change go up, your discomfort with taxes remains.
Lots of libertarians support carbon taxes because it's a relatively non-market-intrusive way to fight climate change. It could even be market-correcting, because it prices externalities.
A plan to fix climate change that would clearly work. Clear to who? That is an impossibly high bar, just as a clearly workable plan to win WW2 was an impossibly high bar. Existential problems are not business problems.
