Rationing is by far a fairer or more egalitarian solution than taxing goods with a high carbon footprint.
The liberal tax approach which at the moment is the only plan to curb consumption that has any presence in mainstream discourse would place the burden of climate transition on the poor while the ultra rich would be able to eat red meat and do air travel as if nothing happened.

Yeah I got the idea from labour's policy to prevent starvation during ww2
Rationing sucked but the alternative would have been so much worse. It was as much a civil defense policy as air raid shelters were.
it was rationing or the rich continue as normal and the poor all die
