You assume that by increasing gas prices it would result in people not buying it and hence less CO2 emissions.

The production process for gasoline also contributes in CO2 emissions whether or not humans use it.

The current issue with gasoline (and why prices are increasing) is that gasoline companies aren't opening up more reserves, because by doing so it will decrease their revenue. I'm not sure what will happen once US gas reserves are finished.

You're right that it is helping the climate, not for the reason gas prices are expensive.
