That's easy to do though, as there are viable alternatives.
To be clear, I do think specific bans like a non-electric vehicle ban can be good policy. But they're not the same as "outlawing carbon".
Overall, global, carbon use it up, and the reason is that individuals find it profitable, at the margins, to use more of it.
I do not entirely disagree with the principle that a hard tax carbon could alleviate the symptoms. But...
No matter the solution, it's just too late for humanity to implement it globally.
