I think the number of jobs or the economic backlash shouldn't be as important as the overall death of the planet. If we wait till no one loses something from the changes, then it will be far too late- if it isn't already. I think the whole world culture needs to agree to a very proactive change in the way we treat the planet. Like the Kyoto Treaty as a start

No jobs would be lost, in fact many would be created by creating the c02 scrubber industry.
If we do not adopt it, we have no position to convince other nations to adopt it. I prefer us adopt the high ground instead of being hypocrites yelling "you first".
I also agree that methane needs to be the next thing addressed.
