Watch some lectures by Kevin Anderson, he is probably the best person to put the point across.

> governments could

You're ignoring the tragedy of the commons, and democracy. Would the population pay 10x more for flights because of a tax? Would a government give its own industry a competitive disadvantage for the environment?

Anything specific (and preferably concise) you'd recommend?

No, all his lectures are basically the same, with just a few updates. If an hour is too long, just watch it sped up a little!

If it has to be written, he had a letter to Science on BECCS iirc.

Thanks. I've just listened to (mpsyt) this talk, 27m with (surprisingly good) Q&A.
