Money is certainly relevant to climate change. But not in the way most people think. I still hold that the natural order of human progress is to slowly decarbonize our energy sources, as I discussed here: https://www.lianeon.org/p/decarbonizing-progress
We can accelerate the process by correcting the inputs that go into the market. Market actors like individuals and businesses do not currently have to consider the negative externalities of their fossil fuel use. Placing a tax on carbon would correct the inputs and bring about better outputs with minimal (if any) cost.
