The market allocation mechanism proposed by the author of the article addresses that. Furthermore, if, as Dragon Star claims, recycling is the only viable solution, the mechanism proposed in the article will result in recycling. So I have no idea why he reacts so badly to the article.

Questions like this are well-studied. The US has a market allocation mechanism for certain types of emissions, which produces a given level of reduction in emissions at the minimal cost. People are opposed to that one as well, for some reason I can't figure out. I'm not sure if they're upset because it reduces emissions too much, or because it's not expensive enough.
