How much would it cost to do this in her general direction?

Germany’s Social Democrat (SPD) Environment Minister Svenja Schulze presented three independent studies on possible carbon tax schemes in Berlin on Friday. Insisting such a tax would not unduly burden the poor, she said, “those who decide to live a more climate-friendly life could actually get money back.”
The plans Schulze presented suggested an initial €35 ($39.50) tax on each metric ton of CO2, to be increased to €180 by 2030, the idea being that the more expensive petrol, natural gas, and heating oil become, the less people will use.
Schulze told reporters that those who consume less, including children, will be given a so-called climate bonus of up to €100 per person, per year, which she claims would offset a person’s outlay for the tax, “The less you drive, the less oil you burn, the more you will get back.” […]
Germany is currently on course to widely miss its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 55% less than 1991 by the year 2030. …

A Social Democrat proposing a tax? Gee, I am shocked!
An inflation creator. German companies are already paying the highest rates for electricity of any country in Europe. All of this will simply make services and products more expensive, and Germany less competitive among other European countries.
LOL!
Humans are a carbon-based lifeform.
They can tax us just for existing...

Gonna be damn cold during the winter.
What will they do with all the money they collect?
Eventually, all this talk about saving the planet and reducing our carbon footprint, comes down to one thing for the Leftists who push this "issue".
They want more money from your wallet. They justify picking it clean with the oft heard, "it's for the children" and their future.
But what it really is about is taking your money now.
Carbon tax my ass. Just another hoax to scam more money from the taxpayers.
Maybe all these slime bags will buy new luxury cars.

In direct contradiction to the scare stories about carbon dioxide being relentlessly pushed by the climate change alarmists, a scientific study published in Nature Climate Change and highlighted by NASA reveals that rising carbon dioxide levels are having a tremendously positive impact on the re-greening of planet Earth over the last three decades, with some regions experiencing over a 50% increase in plant life.The study, entitled, “Greening of the Earth and its drivers,†used satellite data to track and map the expansion of green plant growth across the globe from 1982 – 2015. Published in 2016, this study found that rising atmospheric carbon...

They can’t help themselves. Eventually they will imagine that oxygen must be taxed too.
That's $0.34 to $1.76 per gallon of gasoline. A relatively small incremental jump in the already obscene European gas taxes.

Line their pockets, of course.
