Without fossil fuels or suitable replacement large swaths of far northern latitudes become uninhabitable for larger populations.
Without fossil fuels farming, mainly the fertilizer the world would have to depopulate down to under 2 billion.
Something like 95% of the world population gets at least some food grown using synthetic fertilizer.
Around 95% also use fossil fuel powered farm equipment and/or FF powered irritation.
