What you've described in your comment might be labelled as inconvenient or financially costlier. "Terrible" though? The wildfires this summer were terrible. The future of this planet may be terrible
I never said "terrible" so thanks for putting words in my mouth.
Climate change is terrible, yes. So let's go after the biggest polluters. Build public transit infrastructure. Let's force companies to make an active change: make work from home permanent thing for workers.
Going after regular people while capitalism continues to burn the planet is stupid.
Edit: apparently people live in la-la land.
I agree with all the points you just made.
This is the part of your comment I was citing:
It's terrible in practice because it does nothing to curb the behaviour beyond punishing regular people for just being a part of the system.
If I am forced to go to work and no alternative exists (i.e. viable public transit), I'm being punished at the pump.
