I think the most important benefit of co2 tax would be we would be much more conscious about emissions the same it happened to garbage couple decades ago. This is prerequisite for business to include it as a real factor in optimizations.
And if you are one of those that do not care you would still have to pay for cleaning after your.self

I think discussions could get more constructive if proponents of CO2 tax did get conscious of the epycal change they are talking about.

Same issue as protecting environment from garbage and toxic substances or replacing our use of oil and gas with renewables. It costs huge, nobody had incentive starting it, but it is worth it.
The tax would have to be slowly introduced over period of many years. It is necessary for economy and various industries to adjust. New industry of scrubbing co2 needs funds and time to develop.

What does epycal mean? (Or what word did you mean?) Google failed me.
