I know the study you are referencing and this is an extremely bad and inaccurate summary of it. What it said was that 71% of emissions traced back to 100 entities ( including both companies and states - “china” is one of the entities iirc ) and attributed emissions from the use of fossil fuels to the entity that extracted it Fossil fuels are used for a lot of useful things that make the world go round and significantly improve the quality of life of much of humanity - food production , shipping and transport, industry, construction. You almost certainly are responsible for some of this consumption, as is most everyone else alive. If these 100 entities stopped production of fossil fuels, we would have mass starvation and impoverishment, not paradise.
