Dec 28, 2015 at 18:13 comment added Bob Jarvis - Слава Україні @Michael - this is very short-sighted planning on the part of St. Nicholas, Inc. The reality is that this will do nothing to reduce global warming - it's excess demand above-and-beyond current coal production, and thus additional coal will have to be mined in order for Santa to have coal to give away. While this new coal will not be burned in large quantities, all the ancillary environmental issues (such as fuel for mining machines, transport, etc) will be exacerbated by this policy. St. Nicholas, Inc is now the target of a massive environmental lawsuit - stay tuned for further developments...
Dec 25, 2015 at 18:31 comment added Michael @reirab Actually, giving coal is a brilliant sequestration plan. After all, each child gets only one lump of coal, and how many people have the means or use to burn such a small amount of coal? Sure, a few people might, but overall there is now a lot of carbon that isn't going into the atmosphere.
