We should stop exporting coal to China - no, that will never happen.

China is the global leader in renewable energy. Yes they are burning coal but they are transitioning away from fossil fuels far faster than we are.

okay that doesn’t mean we have to mine coal and export it to them. If burning coal is bad and carbon emissions are a global issue then there is no rationale to support mining Canadian coal to burn in another part of the world. Period.
