There already exists a "carbon offset market" [1]

So the solution is economical, which in turn will lead to technological solutions (carbon-reducing technology directly driven by profits in this market).

From what I quickly found it seems that Greenhouse Gas Tax on meat is still missing.

It's missing from far more than just meat; the problem is raising taxes is politically painful in the short-term, and said policy will not reap any tangible benefits... The chances of a political solution (economics) to global warming won't be tenable until it's too late.
