Emissions are so close to how much you spend. Don’t fly but spend the airfare money on Chinese toys: Same carbon emitted. So having the right to emit n teq = having the right to spend m money.
So emissions are a flux and emission permits are capital, you are right, but it’s just a philosophical argumenation, like photons are both a particle and a wave, and real estate is both capital and a currency.
Maybe your question was, how do we impose others to not emit carbon, how do we set up the first emission permits. Well that’s hard. But it doesn’t matter - They should have a price and change hands when someone can afford them.
