Everyone should get the same carbon budget a year. Maybe as a separate currency. It can then be saved up or traded to use as you see fit. Want to go on oversee flights? Better buy some carbon from some tree huggers with budget to spare.
On paper it isn’t the worst idea but given the current levels of corruption in the financial industry I would be wary. You can totally imagine one of those Wall Street fucks corning the market right before a big travel day and send gas prices skyhigh grounding flights and causing people to be stranded literally not able to afford enough gas to get their cars moving before it snows. And of course when they fail to pull an Enron or GameStop or Goldman Sachs they will just get a bailout.
Or just invent some new way. Like argue that a corporation is a person and form a thousand corporations or run some scam where they buy future credits off the elderly like a reverse mortgage
