You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Two billion tons per year?  Likely the number for China alone today.

Hmm, paper never said whether coal affecting the climate with more CO2 is good or bad.

Plants like that a lot, and we eat plants and animals that eat plants, so it must be good.  Certainly better than the alternative - starvation.
