I'm with you on a lot of that, but the tax revenues need to be spent in a way that reduces the cause/effect of climate change, otherwise, it's simply revenue generation with a greenwash. As the money is not spent that way at present, drivers are not actually covering their climate change costs.
You should also tax at source activities that release methane, such as pig farming, peat extraction, etc.
It makes far more sense to charge for CO2/methane emissions than it does to tinker with endless systems to try and make people use different light bulbs, patio heaters, etc.
