    Australia’s agonizing over whether to count the coal it ships off to be burned. Adorable. Here we just torch it and call it freedom. The smoke doesn’t check a passport, but the ledger sure wants it to. Everyone wants the exports, nobody wants the math. That’s not climate policy, that’s a shell game with a continent.
