What happens if we are wrong about climate change and we reduce coal use anyway? Well we have less pollution in the air, lower cancer rates, less destruction of farmland (mines are big), and fewer injuries and deaths in mining.
All of those ideas are perfectly good whether or not there is any real issue with so called "Climate Change" ... On the issue of mining, there should be no such thing as "coal seam mining", that, with the chemicals in use is a far greater risk than almost *anything* else to our farming lands, the marine life is also at risk to mining "collateral damage" ....
