It also destroys the ozone layer. The cooling effect is temporary but the eventual warming effect (CO2) is long-lasting. It's a real reach to call this "good PR".

"...research study showing burning high-sulphur coal can help the environment by creating a cooling effect."

Damn, damn and triple-damn! Just when I thought we had this thing figured out, new research on sunspot activity proves we are now entering a period of global cooling.

I guess we'll have to go back to low-sulphur coal and spraying Right Guard on our pits.

Oh well, I'm willing to make the sacrifice if it will save the planet.
