I suspect that the above commenter is skeptical about carbon emissions as a legitimate externality. There are also plenty of people who do not think we should be able to address externalities through legislation.
It is strange though because it is often the people who acknowledge or advocate the use market approaches who later complain about them when they are put in practice.

(Note: I'm not saying the approach is wrong, I'm just explaining the position. Personally, I still haven't found anyone making a decent libertarian position on the issue. The only ones I've read/listen boiled down to "I'm not a climatologist, but I'm pretty sure it's not a real problem")
