Australia - the Canary in the Climate Change Mine


Just as my country deserves the evil moron, Donald Trump, having elected him, Australia deserves their recent moronic prime ministers who deny climate change exists even as the fires close in. They also deny that burning coal produces greenhouse gases that cause climate warming.
Do they have impeachment in Australia?
This Wikipedia article says it all:

"Coal is mined in every state of Australia. Mining occurs mainly in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.[citation needed] About 75% of coal mined in Australia is exported, mostly to eastern Asia and of the balance most is used in electricity generation. Coal production in Australia increased 13.6% between 2005 and 2010 and 5.3% between 2009 and 2010. In 2016, Australia was the biggest net exporter of coal, with 32% of global exports (389 Mt out of 1,213 Mt total), and was the fourth-highest producer with 6.9% of global production (503 Mt out of 7,269 Mt total). 77% of production was exported (389 Mt out of 503 Mt total)."
