They can tax the kerosene made from crude oil. BP is already making a 50/50 blend of traditional kerosene and fuel made of organic waste. It is still certified as regular Jet-A1 and they are putting it into wing at some locations already. They say at their website that the goal is to make 100% of fuel from CO2 captured from the air, but this technology, although existing, is still too expensive. Remember when flying was too expensive for an average Joe? It only takes time.
We are at a relatively low level of CO2 currently ( that's why LOTS of greenhouses) and under a certain level, plants stop growing.
Cold is a far greater cause of death than heat and the best thing we can do to mitigate any AGW (assuming it exists. Bjorn Lomborg thinks so but his solution is identical to mine) is make as many people rich as fast as we can and the way to do that is with cheap energy....fossil fuels.
Let the market decide. When people get rich, they start thinking about the environment, something one has no time for when poor.

Excellent.
After they tax everything for carbon etc, the climate will continue to change as it has for eons like it or not. In a few billion years our star the Sun will burn out and become a red giant, all our climate change mantra's will be moot.... :)
Those who can do, those who can't, become politicians.
Yeah, baby!ð
