You should call your political representatives and ask for a carbon tax with tariffs on imports then.

Sure thing, and whose carbon numbers should I tell them to use when they calculate the tariff? The figures reported by the PRC’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment?

There are people who determine whether other countries are price dumping to advise setting up protective tariffs. Why don't you believe that there are people who can produce reasonably accurate estimates for the amount of CO2 it took to produce something? I'd assume that politicians would start by asking domestic producers of stuff what they think. The tariffs are for their protection after all.
