Why does it fail? 
Think about the length that people go to today to avoid taxes.
They move just across the county line to get a lower property tax.
They think about state income tax rates before they move.
They demand receipts for all charitable contributions.
Similarly, people will try to avoid and minimize this tax.
They will put up solar panels and buy electric cars.
They won't travel by air as often.

RICH people move to avoid taxes.
Poor people are stuck paying the taxes, since they can't afford the electric cars.

A carbon tax is very regressive. Poor people pay a lot higher percentage of their income on gasoline and electricity.

And before you claim that the idea is to send everyone a check, that never actually happens.
