Head of climate action residents’ group: "We cannot dig up coal, ship it overseas, watch it drive climate change, and then pretend the consequences have nothing to do with us and won't be felt by us."
3/5 judges in Australia’s High Court just agreed.

Now do Canada & Alaska.
Those governments believe in similar "don't blame us for climate change" as they ship tons of coal from Roberts Bank and millions of barrels of oil through pipelines & oil ports.
Just because another nation is burning these toxic commodities, doesn't free the producers of culpability.
It's like DDT manufacturers continuing to ship this poison that decimated bird populations overseas for years, while following regulations at home that banned it.
