Yup, you're completely ignoring the argument about how to effectively focus everyone's efforts and ingenuity on fixing the problem of carbon emissions, instead substituting class-war logic, and assigning me to the other side of your war. Confirming the misunderstanding I brought up. A Pigovian tax is not a redistribution scheme, it's a fix-misallocation scheme. > The poor really don't give a shit if your flight across the Atlantic gets more expensive. What does giving a shit have to do with what I wrote? Yes, a proper carbon tax raises the price of such a flight; wealthier people disproportionately take such flights, and therefore are paying; as UBI, wealthier people get almost none of that back, as there are few of them. There are probably fewer flights. Plane manufacturers (and competing transport systems) invest in finding more carbon-efficient designs. And the same pressure applied throughout the economy, without commissars decreeing who flies how much, etc., also throughout the economy. Do you want the problems solved?
