The aim and (debatable) effect of a tax, in this case a carbon tax, is to reduce consumption in the market economy and usually increase consumption in government.

Given Myth's previous posts, I had the impression that he considers consumption in the market economy as bad, thus I would think a tax reducing that kind of consumption to be right up his alley. This works the same whether or not climate change is true, since the tax will lower consumption anyway.
