Because there was an alternative. There is no current good enough alternative to burning fuel. We want to motivate people to come up with some, and you do that with money.
Imagine if you could actually ban all fuel burning starting tomorrow - think about the results: Country wide blackouts (so no electric cars), no fuel, so no gas cars either.
All food deliveries stop, water pumps stop, and people die.
So, how sure are you that you want to ban CO2?
