underground coal fires and their relationship to climate change
Underground coal fires refer to the combustion of coal seams that occur underground due to natural causes or human activities. These fires release large quantities of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere. As a result, they contribute to climate change by intensifying the greenhouse effect and increasing global temperatures.
