We are talking about different things. I am talking about global demand for thermal and metallurgical coal. Both of which continue to increase.
You're referring to and are correct about Australian exports of thermal coal as your topic is the Australian economy.
Australian exports of coking coal will continue to increase to meet global demand (steel making).
India and China have a lot of thermal coal (most of which is high carbon emission).
Neither have sufficient reserves of metallurgical coal of the qualities required for coke making (will come from Australia, US, some others)
IEA forecasts for global thermal coal demand are always wrong (low).
Australia has the best thermal coal in the world i.e. highest energy, lowest impurities.
If Australia was serious about reducing global carbon emissions, we would happily export our premium coal. Because when we don't, China and India burn inferior coal.
We are all on the same planet.
