RIP all coal growth scenarios
According to @GlobalEnergyMon 2020 saw a net addition of coal capacity of 12.5 GW, part of a coal collapse over past decade
Expect capacity change to go negative soon, depending on China policies

Reminder that all scenarios underpinning climate research project coal growth to mid-century & most to 2100

To believe in apocalyptic scenarios of climate change (RCP8.5 & like) one has to be a massive cheerleader for coal to regain favor (not only unlikely, but notgonnahappen)
Most denial these days is not of the reality of climate change but of the outdatedness of climate scenarios
