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.
But a tree grows quickly, say 50 years. compared to how fast oil is produced by dead organic matter underground. Is not the burn wood-> grow a tree -> burn wood a much shorter and more sustainable co2 cycle?
Wood burning do have a problem with local polution do.
There are plenty examples of total destructions of forests in the beginning of industrial revolution in Europe. So, no, a tree does not grow.
