Cynically, a "market forces" carbon reduction strategy does have the advantage that it doesn't require anyone to stop any particular behavior, which collectively is easier said than done. If there's even a small chance it could work, shouldn't we try?

to make market forces work, you will need to regulate the release of carbon, just like the release of other pollutants - have a penalty, or some sort of cost that is higher than the actual capture cost.
