I think this solution (pricing externalities into product cost) is rational and correct but ultimately doomed. If you could keep it going for a couple generations it might eventually be ok but it's impossible for a politician to decide that pork is now 3 times as expensive and expect to get reelected. Their opponents will cast them as a 'east coast elite' gouging good Americans to pay for woke environmentalism. It's utterly impossible. We've stupided ourselves into a corner playing tribal politics.
At this point ecological disaster is probably the timeline we deserve. Last one out turn off the lights.
