  it still shocks me that some individuals can afford both the tons of CO2 and the money just for frivolous comfort. Especially since we are in the day and age of the media and zoom meetings. Traveling is no longer necessary for most business purposes, but is mostly leisure or convenience. In the meantime, you are blamed for global warming, for driving to the supermarket to get beef. And you have to pay hefty carbon tax on car fuel, while planes and jets are exempt. And as a society, we can't give a home to everyone, because it would cost money to build back what banks foreclosed and buldozzered 15 years ago. but what if you have money ? go ahead, buy a high tech jet that costs hundreds of homes, and spray carbontrails over the poor neibourhoods near the airport, and directly into the ozone layer. You would be burdened with taxes and carbon allowance if you couldn't afford that.

    If we just had carbon taxes then it would be taken care of. Carbon taxes make so much sense form so many perspectives. it’s a shame it’s not a more popular idea. There’s still some moral issues in my view from ridiculous consumption by rich people, but if taxed appropriately it would be better than it is now.
