Coal use != coal mining. Exporting shit to make yourself look cleaner is not how it works. It is exactly as bad.
To what are you replying to really? Does it say anywhere in the original article that the new conference is about the reduction of coal use but not mining? I haven't found any indications of that; instead, I see mentions that they want to reduce overall "coal dependency" and "coal extraction":

I think such a trivial thought has come to the organizers of this conference and it's well addressed.
I originally replied to someone, must have ended up in the wrong place.
Ah NP then. Peace!
That was supposed to be in regards to Australia? We don't use coal, but boy do we mine it.
feel free to take it up with the countries buying it, or is it just the west that has to reduce its dependence on coal?
3rd world countries that need cheap energy are to blame instead of one of the richest countries selling stuff because it wants to be richer?
if they need cheap energy renewables are the cheapest, especially with the 3rd worlds links to China, building coal power plants is just ignorance
So they all(!) do not know better and use more expensive stuff why?
Oh they know it, they just don't care, good article:

If Australia stops selling coal, it will get more expensive and other countries will have more reasons to use renewables
renewables are already the cheapest form of power, there's no excuse to be building new coal power plants in 2025
Yeah, but the smaller the difference is, the less stupid they have to be to make the wrong decision. The bigger the difference is, the more nincompoops will make the right decision.
as in my other post, they don’t give a shit, they are digging up the majority of their own coal anyway
