A carbon tax might be a good idea if it is revenue neutral, but there's no way you can make one that is guaranteed to stay revenue neutral.

You can't guarantee anything because of political will. But take in taxes, count total, divide by eligible recipients, electronic transfer money. It's not complicated to make it revenue neutral if you have the will to do it.
