If the SCC can be shown to be negative at current levels of abatement (and bear in mind that your excellent chart of net benefits for various abatement paths refers to benefits relative to the 2010 policy stance) then I'd be content to freeze policy at current levels but to steadily transfer all policies to a carbon tax, or at least to cost them on a common basis, ie to treat renewable subsidies as implicit carbon taxes.
