What's the motivation behind making it a progressive scale per mile?

Is there a reason the Nth mile should be taxed more than the 1st when the environmental impact of the Nth mile and the 1st are the same?

In fact the impact of the 1st is substantially greater, because of the energy required for takeoff.
