[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4287244, member: 27098"] Coal Power Plants and Ships actually help cool the earth, but fossil fuels are bad, all of them are: [URL]https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/we-ve-been-accidentally-cooling-the-planet-and-it-s-about-to-stop/ar-BB1oQVS3?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=8b1ee78ecf774ee3a5d650717be71d9b&ei=48&sc=shoreline[/URL] "But fewer people know that burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming — it also causes global [I]cooling[/I].
