Those people would have been canceled like you wouldn’t believe. Lucky for them they lived before Twitter and the View panel.

It is also much easier to melt copper and tin in a coal, rather than a wood fire. A coal fire can burn up to 3500°F, whereas a wood fire can’t get much hotter than 1000°F.

Yeah, and the site of the sunburned coal is surrounded by human remains found to have died of thirst and sunstroke. :^)

Bastids gave us climate change!suggests systematic coal use, nearly 1,000 years earlier than any previously known example
Documentary evidence indicates man has been contributing to global warming/climate change much earlier than previously known.

***coal has been known to combust naturally when exposed to the sun on a hot day.***
Absolutely true! In the coal fired power plants we had to keep a constant eye on the coal pile for “hot spots”. Often one of these small fires would work it’s way into a coal pulverizer and blow it up. What a mess! And deadly to anyone walking by.

I was trying to be nice by not naming names but you had your smart-ass comment so that now I can say that I had to post the information because YOU neglected to do so. ;-)
