That is a very good comparison of CO2 taxes with indulgences.

The second real problem with the global warming XXXX XXXX climate change 
XXXX XXXX climate disruption crowd is the fact that the world's largest 
CO2 generator is China at 33% (2022).  China will not honor anyone's 
request to stop their CO2 emissions.  The USA is second at 13%.  India 
is third at 7%.
