> making meat more expensive through taxes or fewer subsidies on meat or feed grains (corn).

But how is that any less dime a dozen? In theory, I agree with you. But the reality is, we don't have the politicians with the backbone or the will to say "I'm going to make your food more expensive." People lost it when eggs shot up in price. Imagine that across the entire diary and meats section at the supermarket?

Incentive work, but this Fed gov solution is DOA.

Why don't we make greenhouse gas release in general more expensive. Why focus on a specific form of greenhouse gas release?

Because that too is going to spike prices somewhere somehow. And no "leaders" wants to be on the hook for that. The longer we kick the can waiting for a less pain solution the more we need that solution to be even more effective.

No one steps up to be accountable for waiting. No one steps up to be accountable for a painful solution.

What could go wrong? We're living it.
