Nope, this is simply framing because the coal lobby pays millions to sell you the lie of how there is no way around coal and you should give up on reducing it.

In reality the majority of G20 countries are decreasing coal emissions steadily and with a goal to completely phase it out in years. But there are countries included in those 20 that increase coal instead (for example China is up 30% since 2015, India up 29%). And countries like South Korea and Australia while not increasing coal (but also being slower in reductions...) are just rediculous far ahead in emissions per capita (> 3t) thus having a much higher impact on the overall statistics.

Its from China developing and needing more energy. Has very little to so with electrification, especially not the two you mention. Smartphones have no impact at all and EVs are not having a significant market share yet.
