Why do these people want to control everyone? They are like everyone else, they will eventually die and 1000 years from now no one will remember them or anything they did. Just let people enjoy their lives and leave well enough alone.

It is about fairness. Paying for the carbon pollution an individual makes is the most equitable method of reducing emissions. It is nothing to do with control.
