To realize the cumulative effects - just try to realize the accumulative effects!
Shanghai City ALONE needs 17 dirty CO2-fired 'power plants' ALONE with 265 other new ones planned or under "construction".
We have to equate every and all minor and major "Cities of The World" with giant Smoke-stacks!

In what ways is it harmful to use the coal?
burning coal releases "greenhouse gases" which can be toxic and effect the environment
What is the process of burning a fuel such as coal or gasoline?
combustion
How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid?
co2+h20= carbonic acid
How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid rain?
the acids mix with water in the air and fall to earth as acid rain
What are pros and cons of coal?
Coal is cheap and readily available. It's easy to burn. Coal doesn't have the best weight to energy ratio, mining it is dangerous to man and the environment, and burning it produces acid gasses detrimental to the environment.

How is coal burning electrical plant different from a hydroeletric plant?
Burning coal emits harmful chemicals into the atmosphere which increases the Greenhouse Effect. Water is pure therefore harmless to the environment.
Which is better for the environment - coal or tidal power?
Tidal power. Coal has a massive effect on the environment because burning it releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. Tidal power has minimal impact on the environment.
How are you damaging your environment using coal?
you are damaging the environment by burning coal because it realeses gases into the atmosphere.
How does burning gasoline and coal cause acid?
co2+h20= carbonic acid
Is coal good for the environment?
in its natural state no, but when burned it becomes a source of pollutionFML
How does the burning of fossil fuels like coal impact the environment?
Coz burning coal produces lots of heat which is released into atmosphere. It also generated flyash polluitng the surrounding environment.
What does burning fossil fuel give off?
Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What mining material harms the environment the most?
The mining and burning of coal is the most damaging to the environment.
Are electric cars bad for the environment?
Anything which consumes energy has an effect on the environment. An automobile which only transports one person is inefficient, unless it is very small. It does not matter where the energy comes from, it is the consumption of energy to move one person from place to place which is bad for the environment. Electric cars normally get their energy from the electrical grid, which is primarily supplied by coal-burning generating plants. Building more coal fired plants to meet the demand for electricity would be bad for the environment. However, they are better for the environment than internal combustion engine cars burning gasoline, as some electricity is renewably generated (wind, solar, hydro, etc).
What is the downside by burning coal?
The major downside is pollution. The smoke from coal burning damages the environment and contributes to global warming. Some cities have such a huge problem with coal smoke that they are covered in smog.
