Lower it for everyone, so revenue from it is the same. But taxing me more to pay for others rebates does not seem like a good way to reduce consumption.

No way, almost like its a half-assed harebrained scheme that makes little to no sense.

If its not going to impact people then how is it supposed to make a difference to carbon consumption?
