Would you support a carbon import tariff for PoW cryptocurrencies mined outside of countries that implement a carbon tax? Because otherwise I can just imagine mining moving to countries without one, as is already happening with regards to other climate-based restrictions.

They can move, but that undermines confidence of the blockchain because then it's under the influence of fewer governments. Which makes me think that quite a few wont.

  Isn't majority of bitcoin mining done in China? If so then we can safely conclude that the people don't care under whose influence it is.

    And even if they do, no miner individually has an incentive to do what’s best for the collective.
