It also argues that it is the responsibility of rich nations, which contributed the bulk of historic emissions, to stop polluting sooner.

Ah, I am glad that they are so good at shifting blame. Catching up to politicians in industrialized nations. Lovely.

New Delhi’s past attempts to attract private investment for new mines have had only limited success, in part because of a lack of appetite among companies reluctant to make long-term investments in the fossil fuel.

I guess there's some good news mixed in there.

India is going to get pretty fucked by the whole climate thing, so I guess fair enough?

Let’s face it, we are decades away from any government reaching any meaningful “solutions”. Coincidentally we are decades away from our little way of life being destroyed by climate change.

Modi and its backer destroying the health and air of its people to protect coal interest. But don't worry coal is clean now even Australian said so.

So if they're not building new coal plants, what are they doing with the coal? Heating stoves or something?

It could be

  • use existing plants more
  • Steel or concerte manufacture
  • shift from surface mining to underground

Per the article this is supposed to displace imports and open-cast mining:

Increasing production from underground mines to 100mn tonnes by 2028 will help offset depletion at opencast mines and phase out imports, the coal ministry said.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
