I am (also) against coal use, just because the fact that coal mining can increase temperatures around the world, contribute to Global Warming, kids having to wear masks just so they don't get affected by the poisoned air, and a lot worse. How people get here? First they need to reach the place where they believe that their is a lot of coal (or oil). Then they clear out the area. This is where people and animals start to feel affected. Animals now have no place to live, their homes are now destroyed. And this fact also makes local communities unimpressed with lifestyle changes they have to make because a company wants to mine some coal. As they destroy forests, or mountains, they cloud the air with lots of dust, and also makes water unsafe to drink.  Because of all this, Earth is reacting in its own way. Storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other major disasters are increasing.  The water level is increasing because the icecaps in "The North Pole" and "South Pole" are melting. By trying to make energy to live, we may also just be destroying ourselves too.

the cons of coal mining outweigh the pros

I am against coal mining.
According to article from Union of Concerned Scientists, it has been found that from 2005 to 2009, 14 oil and gas companies used 780 million gallons of hydraulic fracturing products that has 750 chemicals and other harmful things. Additionally, the 25% of the 353 chemicals found by scientists could cause cancer and damage immune systems of neurological, cardiovascular, and endocrine.
This evidence supports the claim because as coal mining increases, there will be more chemicals found and will harm everything, including humans, animals, plants, atmosphere, the soil, and etc. Contaminated water get released from coal mining and that negatively affects drinking water, making it less clean for it to be consumed.
However, in the end, I have to acknowledge that coal and electricity is extremely essential in life. Therefore, I am against coal mining until miners reduce the toxic that comes out and come up with a better solution for the effects of coal mining. In conclusion, I am against coal mining until it gets better because coal mining effects everyone.

I am aganist the use of coal mines because the mining leads to polution, loss of ecosystem and its stability and is a safety hazard to people. When people continue to mine coal it effects everything around it and it is not in a positive way, it hurts the environment that it surrounds. As you should know trees help keep the greenhouse gases in check by flitering them out, but when coal mines are built whole mountains and hilltops that are filled with the trees we need are completely destroyed. The peaks and hilltops get blown up by dynamite and other exposives that shoot out the peices of earth and this impacts 1.4 million peices of land. Massive amounts of excess rock and soils that gets dug out when mining, pollutes rivers and streams which divert them from there natural flow and alternates there ecosystem. The EPA reports that in 2010, a mountain top removal, coal extraction, buried almost 2,000 miles of the Apapalachian head waters. But, this doesn't only impact the environment but us humans as well. The communites that live around that area can experience the likeliness of experience landslides, mudslides, and flashfloods a lot more often. Mining can also cause different types of health problems like kidney, lung and cardiovascular disease - such as diabetes and hypertension - and an elevated occurance of low birth rate and preterm births when come in contact with mining. Methane which is a greenhouse gas that comes from minging is more effective in trapping heat than carbon dioxide -some 34 times more effective at trapping heat over a 100-year timescale and 86 more effective during a 20-year timescale.

Greenpeace is correct, coal mining is very bad for the environment and it is a wrong idea for people to allow and establish more mining areas around the world. This is true because in the text made by Greenpeace, it explains how coal mining can not only cause very bad climate changing to the world but can also pollute the world and is current traveling across to other countries to spread the dangerous gasses. This evidence supports my idea because it shows how coal mining is spreading rapidly to cause more dangers and pollution to the world and how it could be stopped.

Coal is bad, because during the extraction prosess people have to destroy forest and landscapes to get to it. Not only that sometimes due to the extraction of coal and gas people are forced out of they're homes from water polution, also after people burn the coal to power houses or factories the air becomes polutied and increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere making global warming worse.

# data[].attributes.body
We should stop using coal because we have way safer ways to use energy because we not have solar energy that dose not give us bad toxins and it dose not give us waste and it dose not hurt animals every year we lose more animals because of it and it pollutes our  air so this is why we should stop using coal.

Fossil fuels are something that have many negative impacts.

Coal mining for example can destroy and terraform whole landscapes, whole mountains, and forests are decimated to make room for coal mining.

Coal mining can also pollute, and contaminate water sources, as well as the soil.

Coal mining can also sometimes force people away from their homes, usually there are forced by large companies or by the government.

With our current lifestyle and the amount of electricity we use, our renewable resources won't support us, so we should continue using fossil fuels UNTIL we come up with an effective solution.

Claim:I am against coal use because it hurts the animals homes and the environment.
Evidence: When people go mining for coal they have to destroy trees and habitats and mountains. This results in a loss of trees and animals and a lots of habitats get destroyed. Coal mining has a big effect on the environment in a negative way.
Reasoning: Because trees and mountains get knocked down and destroyed the population of animals in that type of habitat goes down a lot. That is very bad because we need animals alive to keep the environment running properly.

If we have used coal for this long and made so many alternate options then I think it would be fine if we use it. Coal is obviously being used faster than it is created so therefore, it can run out. However if we are making alternate options other than coal, that if we use it all up then we will have even more scientific advances in the future. Also when we eventually run out we will have even more options to use and probably more renewable resources.

I am against coal use, for the most part. One of the main reasons I am against it is that it causes humans and animals to lose their homes and habitats. This can be because coal miners remove trees for mining or make the water dirty and polluted. Although the negatives out way the positives it does have some good sides. This can include advanced technology. Either way we should be able to find a different resource that is renewable and not as harmful compared to coal and oil.

I don't think coal should be used because it is hurting our planet.

For the most part, I'm against Coal use. The main reason that I am against coal use it that it causes such large amounts of environmental damage as a result of mining coal, such as habitat loss, deadly pollution, loss of minerals, and contamination. Not to mention the effect it has on the miners themselves, such as the fact that it has caused lung diseases. Although there are plenty of negatives that make me against coal use, there are a few good things. Many good things that require copious amounts of energy only happened because coal was able to supply them with energy. But overall, coal is something that has done more harm than good, and an alternative solution to energy needs to be found in order to reduce the amount of environmental damage.

I am against coal use, because mining can impact local communities both positively and negatively.  Forcing them from their homes and land.  It can also prevent them from accessing clean land and water.  This is impacting on their health and livelihoods.  This also changes the social dynamics of a community.

# data[].attributes.body
Excessive coal mining can negatively impact local communities by effecting their physical health. Coal provides 40% of the world's electricity, so if there was a decrease in coal (which there is going to be), the world's electricity will suffer. Mining coal also pollutes the air. Coat dust inhalation can cause black lung disease. Coal mining can also result in forest fires.

I am against coal use because of the fact that coal mining leads to pollution, loss of habitat, and destroying resources. As people continue to mine coal each day they continue to hurt the environment. When coal mining toxic fumes are released into the air which pollute our air and limit our resources. Coal mining minerals and fumes also lead into our water source intoxication and polluting the water killing the organisms that live in these streams and rivers and effecting the animals that use the waters as their main water source. Coal mining leads to the breaking of mountains and hurts natural landmarks. In order to have a mining field you have to destroy the resources first. These effects of coal mining hurt and damage our environment each and every day! Coal mining needs to be stopped due to its negative impact on our earth.

If you use coal you kill the planet, just get fuel from the sun, and use all the coal in rockets when they get out of atmosphere, before that just use electron engines.

I am against coal use, mainly because of Global Warming and Habitat loss. As we humans use more coal it creates pollution in the air, it destroys trees, and it leads to extinction. When we use coal products we are just destroying the world more. I think we need to find another solution then to use coal.

I am against coal use, due to the fact that coal mining leads to loss of habitat, minerals are dissolving into water and upsetting the chemical/mineral balance, and they create toxic sludge.
As people destroy mountains to reach coal to mine, they remove trees, which are homes to animals, and destroy streams, homes to fish. The ecosystem needs these resources, so it fails. Minerals, such as iron, magnesium, and calcium, are knocked off the side of these mountains when the workers are clearing land to continue mining. These minerals destroy the balance of minerals in the water, fouling it and making it unsafe to drink, so animals die. Finally, they store waste from the mines in large dams, but that toxic waste is slowly leaking out from the dams, into streams, once again fouling it and killing organisms, destroying ecosystems.
