Defining "properly" when related to taxes is too difficult for a HN comment. Also, I'm neither a climate scientist nor do I consider myself an expert in economy. I'm rather concerned about climate change, so my numbers would likely be much higher than necessary.

But I'd suggest putting a bunch of scientists in a room for a while to figure out the environmental impact and define some acceptable limit of yearly pollution. Then raise taxes until we're under the limit. Or something similar.

Have them do it every 2 years to account for changing science.

Of course, then you have a de facto regulatory body, which everyone hates, and thus a new problem.

Sounds good to me.
