Economists distinguish between three scopes of emissions https://www.economist.com/briefing/2020/06/20/how-much-can-f...

It gets complicated as direct taxation just encourages moving the dirtiest link in the supply chain offshore.

E.g. manufacture tire in the US and be subject to a high emissions tax, manufacture them abroad and then import them into US - and you're golden.
