They're not actually unpopular.
They've been implemented all over the world, because they're effective. They cover 31% of emissions in developed nations.
To whatever degree you could say they are unpopular, they're unpopular in regions where the government doing stuff about climate change (or just "the government doing stuff") is unpopular, which makes it odd to single out putting a price on carbon specifically
