Coal is certainly much more dangerous than hydrocarbon reserves in terms of CO2 emission potential.

Some European coal mines are already reopening because oil is less and less competitive.

China is richly endowed with coal and feeds its growth on the combustion of gigantic quantity of coal, and this is only the beginning ...

It is imperative to redirect all of the world's energy policy towards renewable energy ...

Exact it's impressive the quantity of CO2 that escapes from these mines which burn on an area equal to twice that of France I suppose these emissions have not been taken into account in the world classification by the IPCC

They only had to take into account emissions from thermal power stations to produce electricity?
