There are plenty of people who want a revenue-neutral carbon tax, including a majority of voters in the U.S. [1]. The fossil industry lobbies heavily against it, and is getting heavy representation in the new president's cabinet, so it's not likely to happen. They also pay for tobacco-style fake research to convince people that climate change isn't actually a problem. I think it's fair to lay the blame at their doors.
