I enjoy driving cars. With engines that go vroom-vroom.
One of the benefits of a carbon tax is that I could continue to drive cars with engines that go vroom as long as I want so long as I can afford to pay the tax. And there is a very realistic situation that all of my carbon can be offset for just a few hundred dollars a year, if we have the resources to invest in next gen offset technology.
But we are in a political situation where it is easier to outright ban this than simply ask people to pay for the cost.
