I kinda agree.

I however think it should be a personal responsibility. Not something forced upon you or being pushed to the government to solve. People have more personal responsibility. Lots of them aren’t bothered anymore because they think the government will fix it.

For example, I don’t have a car and choose to live in walking distance of my work. When I go somewhere I take the bike or train.

I'd go the other way - it should be a global carbon tax of so much per ton. Otherwise you get the present combo of "EU - But at what cost?" and "World emissions hit record high", ie. suffering but with no results.

Tax still gives personal freedom - just if you want to burn a lot of oil you pay more.

If there was any sign of that working that'd be fine.
