> that is using government [monopoly] on violence to artificially raise the price of alternative product

A less dramatic summary is the government is partially factoring in the negative externalities of carbon, through taxation or minimum pricing.

You call that violence, whilst downplaying the very real harm (actual death and destruction) caused by excess carbon in the atmosphere.
