The policy and political solution most widely proposed is a conservative one: Let the free market work out the solution, by pricing GHGs based on their true costs.

Couldn't be more anti-conservative from this view point. 2) Typical conservatives are free market only in their rhetoric. Most are crony capitalist and will intervene in the market as they see fit. 3) A true free market solution could only be based on property rights. True cost can't be calculated from damage done as in this case it is too abstract. But based on property rights companies could be required to be carbon neutral and in that sense what ever cost is required to achieve that would be required of the company.
