COMMENTARY     

elvis sarfo
21st November 2011 		With the vast human ingenuity that abound on this planet, let us find safer and better alternatives to our energy needs.This will save all of us.
Raghavendra Gambhir
29th December 2010 		Rich countries must cut their consumtion of coal. otherwise we loose our planet.
Anna
5th September 2010 		You can find the latest information on web; international energy outlook 2010 (EIA)
according to this total coal consumption in China 2007 was 54 quadrillion btu (page 63 of report)
Richard
24th December 2009 		This data is way off. Don't trust it.
Jake DiFebo
10th December 2009 		What the heck is the unit?

Pounds? Tons? Pieces of candycorn? O_o
Don Hirschberg
16th November 2009 		Same numbers I printed on 1/20/04. Then the dates of the data were given. Now deleted. Most of this data is 2000 and earlier. Units are short tons.
Don Hirschberg
16th November 2009 		Very disappointing. I am comparing this list of consumptions with a copy I made on 1/20/04. The numbers are the same, except that dates were given then, item by item. "As China, 1.31 billion short tons (2000E)"

Very disengenuous to drop off the old dates yet call this the "latest." I do not trust these folks.
BIll
5th November 2009 		This is wack! Yo! Free GHANDI! YEAH! PEACE LOVE AND NO WAR!
Richard
5th September 2009 		On this page:

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_coa_con-energy-coal-consumption

what's the units of coal? tons? short tonnes? metric tonnes?
milligrams? pounds??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
joshua kuhn
16th August 2009 		Make the graph copier able
Laurie Wong
12th August 2009 		It sounds data are different to EIA recent report.

It may be data of 10 ten years ago !

Kallii
19th July 2009 		Dear Gentlemen,

I am not sure if anybody can help me with locating coal consumption statitics for the middle-east. I have been trying to locate this for a while now with no avail. can anybody help
James Bowery
27th June 2009 		Its not "billions of short tons". Fix it.
bob
1st June 2009 		this is a very helpful site
Jen
14th May 2009 		I agree with Tim, I've heard of that to. It's not just global warming, it's more solar warming. And besides, in the time of the dinosaurs, the temperature was much higher than now. Then there was the Ice Age. The earth naturally heats up and cools down. But everytime it did, most of the species that lived on the planet were wiped out. It's not as if we can stop or start the planet from warming up, or cooling down.
Maurie Fabrikant (fabmelco@optusnet.com.au)
4th January 2007 		Most interesting information ... but a little confusing.

The total consumption quoted is 4,558,273,000 which I interpret as 4.558 billion.

The definition, however, states "Billion short tons of coal consumed per country per year."

My question is "Is the total quoted - 4,558,273,000 - short tons or billions of short tons?"
Edria Murray
Staff Editor
3rd February 2005 		Coal consumption is an environmental concern for two reasons:


  1. Coal is a non renewable fossil fuel.


  2. When coal is burned, carbon

    dioxide     and sulfur oxides are released

    into the atmosphere.



Atmospheric carbon dioxide is considered to be a contributor to the
href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect>greenhouse effect. Along with

other greenhouse gases including methane, CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) nitrous oxide and

hydrofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide prevents heat from leaving the Earth's atmosphere. As

more heat is trapped, the Earth's surface will become warmer. This process is called
href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming>Global warming. Global warming could

cause rising sea levels, flooding and changes in regional climates.



In December 1997 the Kyoto

protocol, which set limits for the emission of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide

was negotiated. Countries which have ratified the Kyoto Protocol are expected to have met

their agreed target rate of emissions by 2012. As of November 2004, 127 countries have

ratified the agreement.



Sulfur oxides in the air react with water to produce
href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain>acid rain. Acis rain is responsible for

damage to trees, ecosystems, buildings, artworks and metals.
