Across the world, the percentage of fossil fuels used to generate power is dropping. This trend seems likely to continue, and Australians can accelerate it with our economic power.…

Keeping global warming under control is important for the economic wellbeing and personal welfare of the people in those countries.

If you excluded metallurgical coal from our exports, we'd still be the largest exporter of coal in the world.
