A carbon tax is a specific, simple, policy that voters could form a broad coalition around to implement.
You'd think that.. it sunk the Australian government when they tried to implement it 10-15 yrs ago
Canada has one, though it's not particularly aggressive, as far as I can tell. They redistribute the tax money so no one actually pays extra over the full year, but high carbon products are still more expensive.
It can, and will, get worse.
