Melting permafrost emitting methane 100X more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2 emitted from the combustion of carbon or hydrocarbon fuels, biomass, wood, heavy bunker oil, coal, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, butane, propane, you know, the way people make heat for cooking & heating indoor spaces during the winter, or to make hot water for showers or cleaning dishes or laundry. How much is sanitation worth?
Do you think that breathing air pollution is good for public health? Then how can anyone defend the increasing use of coal as an energy source when its the most polluting of all ways of making heat & power in terms of toxic coal power emissions per unit of energy generated by burning coal. Nuclear Fission power reactors by comparison are by far the cheapest & safest way of making electricity, and that is an irrefutable scientific fact with lots of historical, current & emerging evidence.
Heat Death means that we create so much energy with chemical reactions that effectively everything warms to the same temperature so there is no remaining difference in temperature to exploit for power generation or any other propose in lifeforms, as all chemical energy has completely diffused to the lowest possibly energy states or with zero remaining chemical energy potential, heat death not exactly runaway climate change from exceeding so many global tipping points, it means that all the waste heat emitted from everything gradually continually warms the entire biosphere to an point where there is no difference & everything is the same temperature. Perhaps billions of years away, and by then the Sun will have swollen into a red giant & boiled off the oceans of the Earth anyways. Did I mention that even Stars in space are temporary & have a finite life.
Try to make the best of your finite time alive while you still can, living with regret sucks. Consider living a life of service & adventure, more love, more joy, more happiness, more experiences, more action, more happening, more life in your time alive :) Good luck & God's blessing friends!
What is more important, public health or climate change ? You might argue that UPF junk foods are more harmful that emissions of toxic pollutants, but there is no doubt that smog harms lung tissue, that traffic tailpipe emissions inhaled by people driving in traffic are not good for their health or the health of people walking or bicycling nearby. Even EV's emit more tire dust because of that fun acceleration instant torque from the electric motors & battery that make accelerating an EV more fun with low noise & so much smear your face into your seat Tesla Model whatever instant torque smile inducing silent acceleration, though there is something emotional about a manual transmission in an E90 M3 by BMW, for the real drivers out there, like me with a CDL who drive turbo diesel 40 ft long school buses with 63 children that belong to other people, a humongous responsibly that I gladly take on daily as an expert driver!
Coal is cheap, cheaper than wood, gasoline, diesel, propane, even cheaper than electricity per thermal unit of energy created by burning coal, but burning coal releases enormous amounts of toxic heavy & radioactive metals & oxides thereof as fly ash, & particulate matter or PM toxic to lung cells, but also toxic to animals & ecosystems of all kinds. While coal power the dirtiest kind of electricity, nuclear fission reactor are the cleanest safest way of making electricity, and with SMR arrays being installed & more to be installed soon, we are in the middle of the 4th industrial paradigm & a nuclear energy renaissance to help decarbonize all sorts of energy worldwide, thankfully!
