I'm very curious how this will look like.

I paid my co2 for 2 people from and back Germany Japan.

200$

That's nothing.

Will this create a hard barrier or do I need to stop flyibg?

Will we all accept to fly less? And consume much less?

Somehow I doubt it and will prepare myself the worst

Until the payment actually leads to the carbon being captured and stored again (or the kerosine is from renewable sources) nothing much is won.

This is key. Carbon has to get out of the air and go back in the ground.

How is the carbon tax rate derived then?

There are plenty of organizations that track this and make sure the advertised offsets are not wasteful in this manner.

When it comes to flying many people will choose worse service or worse flight times if they get a lower price. $100 per ticket can make a big difference in a price sensitive industry.
