the correct solution is still regulating Exxon

But it's not! The correct solution is to kill the demand for oil.

It's not Exxon that burns the oil they extract, it's the entire economy and consumers that buy it from them. You can regulate Exxon all you want, that won't change anything about that demand and the burning.

And the very first step in that is pricing it correctly.
