Carbon tax. Double rates for private jets.

Taxes just become prices for being evil when targeted this way, they don't solve the fundamental reason for the existence of the issue. Solve the problem, don't band-aid it.

Use the taxes to subsidise green alternatives. Carbon taxes on fuel get spent on building bike lanes for example.

That can be a somewhat nice supplement, but not a solution. The solution is, of course, Socialism, and strong central planning in infrastructure such as green energy and public transit.

The people who own the private jets choose the tax rates.
