World population and our standard of living have improved drastically over those years too, we aren't burning that additional energy for nothing.

Yes, the fossil economy has enabled society as a whole to create temporary wealth; the past has borrowed from the present. It's going to be a rough comedown.

We haven't been, and still aren't, commensurately accounting for our environmental externalities.
