You don’t have any coal fired power stations and only a little coal used for other purposes compared to historical uses.

Your emissions are dropping fast

It’s not box ticking it’s the complexity of change.

We only use coal for steel. It's tiny. Ships are very efficient and our mines leak more methane than Aus ones, so the emissions are actually lower.

> Here in England we now drag the coal over on smoke spewing ships from Japan and Australia, rather than mine it here

Australia I see but Japan? Japan is the world's third largest coal importer. I don't think they are sending much coal to England.
