Yale's Climate Opinion Maps[0] would suggest that more Americans than not are with the majority of economists, also. It gets less complex politically when you pair it with carbon dividends, which return the revenue back to households.
It's also fun to compare the effectiveness of pricing carbon with other solutions using En-ROADS [1], built by MIT and Climate Interactive.
However, this is a national policy thing that requires our direct participation in politics. Our elected officials need to be hearing about this from an increasing number of citizens and, frankly, be put into a position of worrying about their re-election chances if they don't support it (and other robust climate policy).
