Maybe I've been living under a rock, but how would taxes affect "climate dynamism".  I'm not familiar with the term and to see it twice makes my head spin.

You mean like wind turbines or energy rebates?

I believe from context, "climate dynamism" (which is not a term I've heard either) was intended to mean the fact that global warming will lead to more extreme weather events, the climate will be more "dynamic" i.e., having more fluctuations and less stability.

I don't think taxes (other than the carbon tax) would affect it, but the increase in extreme weather events absolutely will increase taxes (and insurance rates) as we will have to pay for the damage done. The same folks denying climate change will no doubt object to paying for the resulting damage.
