You could always make it progressive to effectively disallow spending more than X tonnes per year per person.
Additional tax money could be spent in remedying the effects of GW or making the transition faster.
Flying, driving etc has a certain carbon cost. You get an annual personal allowance and anything over that is taxed.
That way the poorest could live within their annual allowance, the rich could spend money to emit more.
Although then there's the danger of essentially giving permission to people to emit more carbon.
