Personally I would support a uniform CO2 tax on everything, but I think it's more difficult to introduce and enforce. Energy tax + fuel duty can be a CO2 tax in disguise: there are already precise tools to measure and bill energy and fuel consumption, carbon intensity at any given time is known, and energy, heating and transportation are responsible for 73% of emissions.
What's left out is harder to monitor and regulate: agriculture (livestock, fertilizers, crop burning etc), construction and industrial processes, and waste. It may take a while before the society accepts that meat is never going to be that cheap again.
