The new information added to the body paragraphs are well researched and gives great detail on the political and economic aspects. One thing that I really liked was your inclusion of the social cost of carbon equation. When reading the original content on carbon pricing recommendations I found it difficult to conceptualize everything so the image was extremely helpful.

Though for the most part your article flows well there are certain parts I felt could be shortened. I think the beginning of your United States section is a bit wordy, so I edited the first few sentences (though this is just a suggestion).

After the 2007court case ruling of U.S. EPA vs. Massachusetts the United States government struggled to implement greenhouse gas emission requirements due to the lack of an accurate social cost on carbon to guide policy making.

In 2009, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Council of Economic Advisers established the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Carbon in an attempt to develop standards estimates of SCC for the use of federal agencies considering regulatory policies. This establishment would later change its name to Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (IWG), after extending to include multiple greenhouse gasses.
