- chris_wot 7y agoI thought you said we only contribute to 1% of carbon emissions?
- pnako 7y agoYes. I was contesting your point about the world making Australia transition. Right now they're buying more of it. Now, you can try to run on a platform of banning those exports, but it's a tough sell because it affects the revenue of many voters, and Australia is a democracy. It's tough to vote away someone else's living. Hillary Clinton bragged about putting coal miners out of a job (something she later admitted was stupid) and got an electoral defeat in West Virginia.
