Australia is approving coal mine expansions because of their “very small” impact on global heating. It doesn’t stack up.

    Type Ia supernova: 10^44 joules
    Hiroshima bomb: 63 x 10^12 joules

    So 1 coal mine is around 10^-24 supernovas, or 1 yoctonova.

      To be honest, I won’t double check that at all, but will just assume you put at least 10 minutes of effort into this.

      I love you.
