PLZ HELP ASAP 25 POINTS. If people keep using coal in the same way, scientists say there may be enough coal reserves to last 200 to 300 years. Does your graph show trends that match what scientists say? What kinds of factors might cause them not to match?

It’s often claimed that we have enough coal to last hundreds of years. But if we step up production to fill the gap left through depleting our oil and gas reserves, the coal deposits we know about will run out in 2088. And let’s not even think of the carbon dioxide emissions from burning all that coal.
