Please clarify.

A careful reading of the thread title reveals that in the single year 2022, humanity used an amount of coal greater that in all of human history.

I'm betting you mean "an amount of coal greater than in any other single year of human history."

Be careful what you write: words have meanings and meanings have power.

Five minutes after I wrote the above, I ran across this lead sentence from another thread: TIL that under Writers Guild of America rules the phrases "written by", "story by", "screen story by" and "screenplay by" all have different, and precise, meanings.

Then, three minutes later, I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/zpf90y/where_are_the_spoons/

As I said, words are important!
