So they will stop importing because they are now producing enough domestically to provide for their future energy needs. Sounds sustainable!

Isn't that new Adani mine setting up in QLD an Indian company? If India stops importing coal then Adani will either be shut down before it's even operational or supplying us with all the coal we'll need for forever.

OK but this will have no impact whatsoever on CC. That to me is the point.

Noted.

For me it's another sign that thermal coal is a sunset industry in Australia. Shift to renewables - it's an opportunity, not a threat.

Even the big investors are diversifying away from fossil fuels now.

It could happen a lot faster if vested interests were willing to be, well, less vested. This is the crux of the problem - some think it's not happening, some think it's happening but it's not so urgent, some (like me) think it's possibly past tipping point already. Some vested interests know it's happening but don't care - it's a problem for the next generation so who cares as long as we get richer.

Temperature rise is the lead indicator - there are a myriad of lag indicators that will kick in later. Many already have of course. Sea level rises, sea temperatures, sea acidity, sea deoxygenation, glacial retreats, changing climates and ecosystems. The severity of the bushfires we just went through is only one example.

Sounds like we're all just well n truly *smile* already then. No point gettin all het up n anxious, might as well just kick back n enjoy the last few bits of good stuff before the *smile* hits the fan n wipes us out completely.

Then maybe one day some alien explorers might come along n do some diggin around n wonder what sort of global catastrophe came along n wiped us humans out. Just like we came along n wondered what wiped out the dinosaurs.
