This hits home for me. Although I suspect I probably fall into the "warmist" camp from your perspective and would support steep carbon taxes even without offsetting cuts in corporate/income taxes, I'm plenty comfortable with the statement that even the better climate models have at best a rough correspondence with reality: they're just a sketch to help us get closer to understanding how things really work. I'm pretty sure most climate scientists agree with that as well, FWIW. But swapping all corporate taxes for a carbon tax? That really is a no brainer, and most policy experts not in the pay of the fossil fuel industry would leap at it. I don't know why we don't see it happen. Maybe because the American political system does not reward risk taking, even if it can substantially improve economic outcomes.
