Boiled down to one exception: carbon neutral flights.

  Except that you need to make it clear that it's actually carbon neutral. There are numerous ways to pretend to be carbon neutral without actually accomplishing anything, like "carbon offsets". (I don't mean to completely discount the notion of carbon offsets. If you spent money to build solar panels sequestering carbon, then yeah, at least in theory you could genuinely offset your carbon. But right now there are too many dubious ways to count an "offset".) So yeah, it would be better to give people the single rule and let innovation find ways to use it. But if it's just accounting innovation, and not actual technological innovation, it's worse than just dictating specifics.
