Most of Norway's political parties have in their plans to phase in a CO2 tax of $230 per metric ton by 2030. That's not quite up to the level of the current market price of the CO2 sequestering methods that seem to plausibly work for geological timescales, but it's within the range they would likely end up in if developed. Side note: If we acknowledge that a realistic CO2 tax is democratically unpopular - excellent! Now we're making progress, that's a real piece of data to work with. It needs to happen, there's absolutely no way around it. If it doesn't currently fly in a democracy, we need to sweeten the deal. Trying to force it through by revolutionary means is an act of desperation, let's hope we don't even have to consider it. There's a hundred ways to make it more palatable. Let's start in that end! Paying part of the CO2 tax back to individuals is one way of bribing the electorate to do what's necessary.
