>I assure you, it’s not a concern.

Its not the coal you burn in Australia...it's the Coal you export, remember we live under one Atmosphere:

In 2016, Australia was the biggest net exporter of coal, with 32% of global exports

No, it is the coal they burn in Australia -- currently >2/3 of electricity generation --, it's just also the coal other people burn elsewhere.
