Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Coal, like oil and gas, is derived from the remains of plants and animals, aka carbon-based life. We don't call it hydrocarbon-based life, even though life is primarily based on molecules of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus.
Carbon based life or carbon based fuel, or carbon footprints are just colloquial shorthand for fossil fuels and some of the emissions problems that come with them
