Fight for a socialist future or join organisations/actions which do direct action against large pollutors, I'm thinking for example about Ende Gelände in Germany.

yes, fytoplankton, but those are plants too. THey'll be extinct in +/-500 years because of the ocean acidification, which is a result of the sea absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere.

The question was if heavier cars should pay more. Heavier cars are more expensive to buy, so this means that people who can afford a big car, will pay more. It's a sort of progressive taxation by proxy.

For context: don't forget that this isn't the US: not everyone drives an SUV/pick-uptruck. Here you can see the size of the most popular car in France, compared to a pick-up truck.
