Logical fallacy there! You don't have to have a substitute for something to point out that it is bad.
Carbon pricing is 60 years old: https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/carbon-offsets-2023/timeline.html
Carbon emissions have increased exponentially in the last 60 years: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide
A system where you can pay money to emit simply means people will pay money, and emit.
