With all of this being factored in, I would think that the citizens of our country would want to ask questions, expecting honest answers and a sense of urgency like never before, to look for solutions. We must realize that this could rapidly go out of control in return creating a world wide disaster, so to speak. The profits of a select few are not worth sacrificing the quality of life for the masses. We the people of Appalachia have always been proud of our land and heritage, and knowing how in the past we were affected by big coal, let's not let big oil and gas pick up where others left off. Let's continue to educate and take a stand or we will fall for anything.

NEWS & ANALYSIS: GLOBAL WARMING
Soot Is Warming the World Even More Than Thought

The roughly 8 million tons of soot produced each year by burning everything from coal in power plants to oil in ship’s boilers is bad news for the planet. A new study finds that soot is warming the climate about twice as fast as scientists had estimated and, for the first time, points policymakers to the soot sources that will make the best targets for climate regulations.
