Do we have other choices, when the alternative is the Apocalypse?

And it's not like rest of the world doesn't benefit at all. The early adopters always pay more, the late adopters get to leapfrog.

I agree with this, but the gp prolly wanted to brimg up that developed countries will offer subsidies that develping ones cant, just like in agriculture. Imo developed countries need to enact it first, and without subsidies and then pressure developing countries, even though developing countries produce more carbon. From a pure logic perspective thats not the optimal solution, but i think thats the only remotely plausible one that will make a global carbon tax work
