A hundred years of burning coal. Now that will cause some real global warming.
Hard to believe we burn more coal now than ever.

Someone should do the math. If we had to guess, is 1 year of coal equivalent to 100 years of all of aviation?
- billiam 3y agoGuess who owns the companies that bought the governments that subsidize coal production for the last century and a half? These hand wavy arguments about scale ignore the fact that the superrich and their ability to capture governance and policy are the whole problem. Put a real carbon tax on their consumption and they will not "reflect on their choices" but could become more supportive of energy policies that don't doom their customers and themselves.
