That is the only way you could ever accomplish a reduction even worth measuring.
People consume, that is what we need to do and no tax is going to stop that until we are taxed enough that we starve to death.
How long before tax increases make living unsustainable? They will never stop increasing ever. When do we pass the point of no return?
Just think about the future on the path we are headed down.

Under your plan, which population do you propose to eliminate first? Is it not a fair marker to consider those who pollute or emit the most per capita to be eliminated first? Be careful what you wish for, many nations already survive on a standard of less than 1/4 of what we as a society consume. My guess is they will not be the first to go, unless of course the system is jerry-rigged to protect the greatest offenders, which of course is likely your objective choice.
