I Have Read That The Gasses Released,

by burning coal unless treated increase global warming,


so here is an idea to reduce global warming, put out some of the coal fires that have been burning for over 50 years like the one at Centralia Pennsylvania, which now no longer exists on some maps, the story began sometime in 1962 along the outskirts of town when trash was burned in the pit of an abandoned strip mine, which connected to a coal vein running near the surface, the burning trash caught the exposed vein of coal on fire, the fire was thought to be extinguished but it apparently wasn't when it erupted in the pit a few days later, again the fire was doused with water for hours and thought to be out, but it wasn't, the coal then began to burn underground, that was in 1962,


and it is still contaminating the planet today, but whilst putting that fire out and helping our earth a little bit, out how about helping it in a big way and put out all of more than 200 underground and surface coal fires are burning in 14 states, according to the U.S. Department of Interior's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, now there is a way to cut down on CO2, if you think this is not going help very much, think on this, underground fires in China alone contribute as much CO2 to the atmosphere each year as all the cars and light trucks in the U.S.
