We should mandate taxes are paid on fuel, they dump fuel before landing. Which has a worse impact on the greenhouse effect.

They don't dump fuel, except when they need to land in an emergency and don't want to risk landing overweight. This is a tiny fraction of the greenhouse effect caused by aviation, so taxing it wouldn't make any real difference.
