Horseshit. How does the "market" know "when costs are high enough"?
-3 points for lack of critical thinking.
When people stop paying.
Given that your point is nonsensical and flies in the face of all common knowledge, maybe you could elaborate a little?
We're not mind readers.
I just assumed basic education. My mistake

How does the damage from global warming get into the cost structure of carbon fuels?
It doesn't.
Basic theory: If you raise the price of fossil fuels to X and the price if a substitute (environmental friendly) is X-Y people will choose the substitute.
Not a hard concept for most people
No, it's not a hard concept, but your original comment completely left out the fact that you are assuming a deliberate intervention in the market in order to raise the price of fossil fuels.
Given your past posts, this assumption was unclear. Normally, when people talk about the market solving problems they mean
without outside intervention (unless otherwise stated).
