> the issue is they don't like taxes and regulations because it interferes with individual liberties It would entirely be possible to make a libertarian argument, because emitting CO_2 reduces the liberties of others.

Since reassigning property rights on a global (public) good don't work well, a (Pigouvean) tax seems like a sensible thing to preserve individual freedom of everyone.
