What is of course perfectly clear is that the best way to save carbon is

That's a perfectly good end in itself, conserving resources for future
generations and cutting pollution (real pollution, not "CO2
emissions"). It could very easily be achieved through the existing tax
system, without all the eco-bollox, but there is no political will to
do so.

HL Mencken “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the
populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing
it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
