If we did that, we’d merely outsource all carbon heavy industries to where they’d inevitably pollute way more. You could try to do a carbon VAT I suppose - sounds tricky in practice because there is no market price discovery equivalent for emitted carbon (before/after manufacture), and taxation before markets was a dumpster fire mess.

We have all types of tax already in place, we just need to emphasize. If we dont the run for profit will make human life unbearable in many places.
