If a carbon tax raised prices for meat, how much of an increase would be costly enough (to you personally or to populations you care about, e.g. lower income families) that you would be uncomfortable supporting it?

I think people would switch to animals other than cows, like chicken or pigs that are more environmentally friendly; Now that you pose the question, I wonder what the prices would be under existing estimate of proposed carbon taxes:https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-carbon-tax-on-meat/ …
Yeah, it's complicated! One thing I worry about is that from an animal welfare perspective, cattle ranching is arguably much less harmful than either chicken or pig farming
