Why would a pound of carbon from air travel be worse than a pound of carbon from something else? If it were taxed differently, wouldn't that provide an incentive to produce more CO2, against market forces?

I mean taxes on all carbon emissions should be raised (if airlines already pay them, otherwise airlines should pay them - also "taxes" can be replaced with a cap-and-trade scheme).
