I really wish we did carbon tax thirty years ago. Now, it's likely too late - we have 10 years to cut emissions in half, we (as in, the world) haven't even started to do anything since the Paris accords, even in Europe - which doesn't seem to concern many people, it's almost hilarious.
After that, all bets are off, we won't have the GDP for
building the clean grid of cheap renewables, and we'll switch to disaster capitalism. It's going to be crop failures after flooding after deadly heatwaves after war after diseases.
I honestly have a hard time figuring the best course of action, baring a massive financial sector meltdown and a huge recession - and that's a very, very shitty scenario, i'm not downplaying it.
But still way better than a world at 4 degrees.
