Fossils are a thing of the past
Using oil in the 21st century is obsolete for many uses: for example, heating your house with oil, when the sun and the occupants do that for free. Why not light your home with candles while you're at it...
Scientists tell us that we should not extract more than 20% of known fossil reserves, so let's save oil for activities where it is truly irreplaceable (we like flying).
Replacing equipment is costly
Okay, I'll stop using fuel, I'll change my car or my boiler.
But to replace equipment that emits CO2 with a carbon-free solution, I have to borrow and that's expensive.

If the CO2 Account is not your main account, you will need to make an automatic transfer from your main account so that your CO2 Account is in credit.
