Who said everything?

Taxing stuff that comes from large scale industrial destruction of the environment is completely different than everything.

Plus all the carbon tax schemes start with direct rebates to the tax payers in equal parts, so those who consume more get less back than those who don't.

Which is why you'd want to combine the tax with a subsidy for "clean" products (financed by those very same taxes, perhaps).

Not if it is revenue-neutral.
