> We want people to reduce their carbon consumption
Remember that this isn't the end goal. What we want is not to feel the effects of releasing CO2.
A CO2 tax that costs as much as it costs to mitigate the effects of that CO2 release reduces CO2 production to exactly the amount its worth emitting. Rationing means you either get more or less CO2 than this number.
