In my opinion government focus should be on the education of young people, and not on trying to force and bend adults to behave in the narrow "correct" way. Again, with some exceptions. If we want more female representation in STE

We would never agree on a global tax system in the first place. We could tax wars for example, and those kill humans directly, unlike climate change. But we don't do it, because many humans benefit from wars. Same with carbon tax, too

Graph of CO2 level in the atmosphere doesn't show even a tiny sign of those efforts. Sure, they are all good and commendable, but here we get zero points for the effort. If we reduce emissions a lot, really reduce them across he globe,
