The coal dust was blowing only on the corner and not particularly much of it. Not enough or regularly enough to put a coating of black even close to the tracks. In Antwerp, my car used to be coated with a fine soot layer due to diesel exhausts and home furnaces. That was annoying. That "scenic river basin" has coal train drivers to enjoy it and not many others.

Right next to a major highway.. So are we supposed to breath it?

The coal goes to combustion and thereby to providing CO2 for plants. What pollution do you mean?

Not all plants can tolerate a higher CO2 concentration.. Did you had biology in college, specifically plant biology classes?

That coal dust even looked as though it might have been added by careful pixelation AFTER the video was made. One can't trust Alarmists to be honest with their representations of reality.

You don't even live here. I've seen trains up in Canada do the very same thing close to that spot. You need to stay "down under" in your world of ignorance.

The "writer" who had "aching lungs" from passing coal trains in Russia would be hard pressed to get a similar problem there. He'd have to risk being run over by the train to get more than a hint of coal dust up his nose.

The writer of the post is an expert on atmospheric sciences.. Something you know nothing about!

I've known him personally for over thirty years. Please continue to post your antiscience crap.
