Taxing externalities is straight out of Friedman.

The political spectrum is very different than it was 30 years ago. The Chicago school of economics is irrelevant to today’s populists.
Call the people on the populist right whatever you want. But they make up a political constituency whose favoured approach to climate change is to impose zero changes or sacrifices. Politicians who cater to that constituency will shape their policies accordingly.
