People were using other fuels before they start using fossil fuels. Like wood. It is double whammy - more CO2 (less efficient burning) and no CO2 recapturing by those burned trees.
Oh no! Not the 680M or fewer people burning one of the less dense forms of carbon for home heating and cooking food! This is very noteworthy alongside industrial and motor usage of hydrocarbons that have to be extracted from under the ground and water for the population of now over 8 Billion!
Much more efficient per person though. Or per Joule of energy.
