What a headline. Developing markets are not going to scale back. The people concerned with climate change need to explain how any of this is going to work. Apparently they are going to try do so with explanations like, "yes, more coal and coal plants, but maybe they'll burn less?" Good luck.

Sadly, some of the countries doubling down on coal, are going to be most severely impacted by climate change.

  But they are not going to be impacted less if they burn less (on the margin). Most of the impact is already locked in in short term.

  But thankfully they will easily find some external enemies to blame for their own mistakes and nuke from orbit.

The rich countries that got that way off decades of massive cheap fossil fuel use provide financial aid to the developing countries to develop renewable energy sources there so that the developing countries can get off fossil fuel without derailing their development.
