It's releasing the carbon which was captured during the

carbon which was trapped during a 50M+ year period in coal

of CO2 in the atmosphere at the beginning of the carboniferous
down to the levels at the end of the carboniferous, which are
nearer to what we have today. Rereleased over a 100 or 200
year timeframe, that is a potential cause for concern.
Yeah, then we all die and it starts all over?

Would it be green, or not, to use our human form to self combust and
create electricity?

Try it and report back ....
