Also note that Australia actually produces 4 times that amount (500 MT), but around 75% is exported, to countries like China. Adani will add another 60 MT to the exports.
and India but under all the climate change agreements "developing countries" have been given permission to generate as much electricity as they want so their living standards can catch up with the rest. Its a pity that they don't change the definition of a developed country to one that has a space program because then Australia can be classified as a developing country and then we can get cheap electricity again.

So, per capita, we don't look so flash - and we don't even manufacture anything.
The per capita statisitic is such a furphy as the reality is Australia generates very little of the worlds total CO2, which after all is the problem, from what I keep getting rammed down my throat. If the science is so sound how come 10 years ago they didn't predict that the climate emergency would exist in 2019? For much the same reason they can't predict TS over Sydney on a humid day, its all driven by computer modelling, which is only as reliable as the assumptions built into it.
