No, just make everyone pay for their carbon. I am carbon negative. I get to fly as much as I want because I always offset. You don't get to add a puppy to your household if you don't offset. That's much fairer than you deciding that my pet hobby is worse than your pet hobby.

Everyone always has these grand market distorting schemes and they inevitably fail at the real goal.

This I agree with because it’s the fairest way to go.

Out of curiosity, how do you offset?
