Global User Pays IV

Global User Pays IV Following on from an idea posted previously that users of fossil fuels pay for the privilege of sinking humanity further into a hole from which it will never be able to dig itself out - why not broaden it from the suggested areas of 1. Air travel; and 2. Pay per use of power hungry AI services; to more categories, eg: 3. An extra levy on fossil fuel that you put into your car; and 4. A surcharge on purchase of any items that are imported, with a higher tax for items purchased from further away (say, one tenth of a percent per kilogram for each 100 kilometres it needs to be transported - this can be done now with super computing)? and in addition 5. A profit tax on companies that are not certified sustainable under the new ISSB rules - with all proceeds going to a global climate change kitty to cover the cost of replacing fossil fuel grids with renewable grids - but only countries that ratify the ISSB guidelines and rules (for certifying companies sustainable to give certainty to equity markets thereby unlocking trillions in private equity to ethical investments, refer Glasgow COP 26) can be eligible for financial support from the fund. When the goal is achieved, the levies come off. The above proposals will affect your lifestyle, but only a little bit. On the other hand, the environment will be preserved for future generations .
