I thought the acid rain was carboxylic acid. I didn't know that it is actually sulfuric acid with carbon dioxide being trapped in the atmosphere. Continued use of coal may return the Earth to the lignin infested world of pre-pangea, since we humans seem intent on killing all the trees that could have used the carbon dioxide being flushed into the atmosphere.
I suppose advocates for coal use can be termed epochal reactionaries. Having killed-off all current life and having returned the planet to its original environment, maybe the life cycle will begin anew, when the last human gasps his last breath of the prehistoric atmosphere. Maybe the next sentient being will be a better steward of the gift from his creator.
