Abstract: Let $Esubseteqmathbb{P}^2$ be a complex rational cuspidal curve contained in the projective plane and let $(X,D)o(mathbb{P}^2,E)$ be the minimal log resolution of singularities. Applying the log minimal model program to $(X,frac12D)$ we prove that if $E$ has more than two singular points or if $D$, which is a tree of rational curves, has more than six maximal twigs or if $mathbb{P}^{2}setminusE$ is not of log general type then $E$ is Cremona equivalent to a line, i.e. the Coolidge-Nagata conjecture for $E$ holds. We show also that if $E$ is not Cremona equivalent to a line then the morphism onto the minimal model contracts at most one irreducible curve not contained in $D$.
