Coal is deeply unpopular in most areas where good alternatives exist.

5 & 7 already are now operating at reduced capacity, as alternative power plants have come online, and over a decade or so, the plan is to reduce operational capacity and possibly decommission. I suspect if you dig into some of the rest of these, you'll find similar situations.

Sure, but how that translate to the statement that among the top 10, "many are from China and India". China is the target everyone wants to beat. But for India, India's per capita emission is so small. That means Indian people are living a far lower standard than average. And put the label on such a nation, ask them to continuously living a bad life. Isn't that malicious?
