Fuel rationing. You get a certain ammount of fuel per year with no extra taxes on it. If you use above that ammount, you’re charged a marginal environment tax.
Can’t we just mandate bio or syn fuel? It also costs more (which is they don’t use it) so will have the same discouragement factor, plus the carbon emissions are at least from currently active carbon, rather than carbon that’s been sequestered hundreds of millions of years
That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.

Anybody that flies that many times a year should be sacrificed to the sun god. If the sun god doesn’t take us all before that.

Maybe people will actually want good trains as an alternative then.
