  1. It doesn't matter as much as the simple fact that every ton of coal produces almost 4 tones of Carbon Dioxide. Remember your basic high school chemistry C + O2 -> CO2 Each carbon weighs 12 atomic units and each O 16 atomic units. Do the math each 1 C becomes 2.67 CO2 So the 3 Gt (Giga tons) of coal China digs up and burns produces 11,000,000,000 tons of CO2. Plus for most of that growth phase China's coal mines were so badly managed they burned as much coal in the ground as they did in power stations so China's true CO2 emissions were over 22 Billion tons a year. And that's before we ad in all the coal they import and all the other emissions. THAT'S WHY CLIMATE CHANGE IS ACCELERATING
